Treatment Options
The Nebraska Medical Center offers a wide range of medical and surgical treatment options to patients with kidney disease. These include:
- Providing comprehensive medical care for adult and pediatric patients with kidney diseases
- Live-donation kidney transplants where a living-donor kidney is removed and implanted in the patient
- Deceased-donor transplants for patients who don't have a living-donor option
- Crossmatch incompatible donor/recipient pairs
- Paired Donation Network membership to facilitate incompatible donor/recipient pairs with other incompatible donor/recipient pairs in hopes of finding a compatible transplant possibility
- Altruistic/Anonymous Donor options where individuals are willing to donate one of their kidneys to someone not known who is waiting for a kidney transplant
- Inpatient dialysis and referral to outpatient dialysis facilities when dialysis is needed
