Kidney transplants may be an option for suitable patients in Stage 5 kidney disease approaching dialysis.
Our Kidney Transplant Nurse helps patients, families and carers understand their treatment options.
Our Kidney Transplant Nurse arranges all the tests before receiving a transplant.
This includes:
- Vascular tests
- Blood tests
- Heart (Cardiac) tests
- Cancer screening
People wishing to be a live donor are also supported by the Kidney Transplant Nurse.
Transplant operations are performed at the Prince of Wales Hospital at Randwick.
Wollongong Kidney Outpatient Clinic offers a transplant review clinic.
The Kidney Transplant Nurse can be contacted through reception on (02) 4222 5443
