Kidney Transplant Care

Comprehensive pre-transplant preparation and lifelong post-transplant allograft protection.

Clinical Overview

About Kidney Transplant Care Care at Northeast Kidney Care

A kidney transplant is the gold-standard therapy for eligible patients with end-stage renal disease, offering significantly improved survival and freedom from dialysis. Northeast Kidney Care guides patients through every phase of the transplant journey, from initial candidacy workup to decades of post-transplant graft surveillance.

Collaborative Care with Leading Regional Transplant Centers

We partner closely with major academic transplant centers across New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania. Our nephrologists handle detailed local pre-evaluations, manage complex immunosuppression regimens (tacrolimus, cyclosporine, mycophenolate), and monitor allograft biopsies to preserve your transplanted kidney.

Frequently Asked Questions About Kidney Transplant Care

Answers directly prepared by our board-certified nephrologists.

You can be evaluated and placed on the national kidney transplant waitlist once your eGFR drops to 20 ml/min or below, even before starting dialysis. Starting early maximizes your accrued wait time.
