Kidney Transplantation

Our Kidney Transplant Program is one of the largest and most experienced kidney transplantation programs in Chicago. Our teams of experts work closely with patients through every stage, from pre-transplant care to postsurgical monitoring. We are committed to providing patients and their families personalized treatment options for the best surgical outcomes.

Dialysis Services

The ESRD Program at UI Health features a 23-chair outpatient dialysis unit, a 9-bed hospital dialysis unit, and dialysis services in local skilled nursing facilities. Our dialysis services include hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis and short daily home dialysis.

Fellowship Program

The primary goal of the nephrology training program is to ensure that trainees acquire the knowledge, attitudes and skills that characterize the practice of nephrology and that will enable them to contribute maximally to improving the health and quality of life of the individuals and communities they serve.
