Kidney Transplantation
Kidney transplantation remains the best alternative for end-stage renal disease for those patients who are eligible. At Lower Manhattan Dialysis Center, we pride ourselves in referring our patients for transplantation as quickly as possible and we have some of the highest transplantation rates in New York.
Also, median waiting time for a Kidney transplant is only 9.1 months at our primary transplant referral center. This compares to 2 ½ years over 5 years elsewhere in New York State.

As beneficial as transplantation can be, most patients with kidney failure will tend to be on dialysis for a period of time prior to receiving a new kidney; sometimes for a period of years. This is why it is very important to seek out a dialysis center with an excellent track record in measures of life span and good health on dialysis in addition to a good transplantation record.
