Living Donor Program

Living organ donation is the best option to save lives for people who need organ transplants. With so few organs available for organ transplantation, most people spend months or years waiting on the organ transplant list, if they are fortunate enough to get the care they need at all.

University of Utah Health provides living donor surgeries for living kidney donation. Our program is ranked in the top 10 for living liver donation nationally, and our transplant patients have some of the best outcomes in the country.
