Pediatric Solid Organ Transplant at Nemours/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children

With more than two decades of experience and hundreds of successful transplants, our Solid Organ Transplant team at Nemours/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children oversees one of the largest pediatric liver and kidney transplant programs in the country. If your child has end-stage kidney or liver disease, our team can offer comprehensive evaluation, treatment, and ongoing care. Why Choose Nemours: We focus on your child’s quality of life during and after transplant. We offer top-rate therapy that helps kids recuperate and get back home quicker. Our length of stay is shorter than national averages; many of our transplant patients are back home in three or four weeks after transplant. Our multidisciplinary team of specialists will consider the needs of every child referred to us, no matter how complicated the case. We provide excellent and personalized care that places the patient and family at the center. We work as one coordinated team. Your child may be able to get a donated liver or kidney in one of two ways, either from a: living donor: a relative (also called a “living related donor”) or another unrelated adult. deceased (or cadaver) donor: the most common way, donated by a healthy adult or child who became critically ill and died of this illness (after the person or his or her guardians agreed to donate the organs in the event of a sudden death). For more information, visit: https://www.nemours.org/services/soli... As soon as the transplant team decides that a transplant is the right option, your child will be placed on local and national organ waiting lists (which have the names of all of the people who need kidneys, livers, or other organ donations). A group called the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) oversees this list and assigns organs based on how sick a person is, how quickly the patient needs a new organ, and which person is the best match for the organ donated. Every year thousands of people are placed on the organ transplant waiting list, and some have to wait months, even years. For every person transplanted, two more are placed on the list. But living donation allows patients to be transplanted with healthy organs in a timely fashion, and with very good long-term results. At Nemours, we were early adopters of living-related donor procedures, which allow a living relative to donate a segment of the liver or one of their kidneys for transplantation. This technique makes it possible for more children to receive a transplant as soon as possible and increases their chances of long-term survival after the transplant.
