Mayo Clinic's campus in Jacksonville, Florida, is a leading center for kidney and pancreas transplantation, performing more than 130 kidney transplants annually. Emphasis is placed on overcoming barriers to transplantation while optimizing patient and allograft survival.

Active clinical programs in the Transplant Center include:

• Living-donor and deceased-donor kidney transplantation
• Pancreas transplantation
• Simultaneous kidney and pancreas transplantation
• Pancreas transplantation after kidney transplantation

Mayo Clinic's Kidney-Pancreas Transplant Program involves a multidisciplinary team consisting of transplant nephrologists, transplant surgeons, clinical nurse coordinators, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, study coordinators, social workers and other allied health professionals, in addition to general nephrology and renal transplant fellows. The entire transplant team participates in your training during the Renal Transplant Fellowship.

Inpatient and outpatient areas dedicated to transplant patient care are also staffed by specialized nursing and allied health professionals. In addition to kidney and pancreas transplantation, the Transplant Center integrates programs in liver, heart and lung, and blood and marrow transplantation to specifically facilitate collaboration in clinical, research and educational pursuits among transplant specialists at Mayo Clinic.

Long-term kidney and pancreas transplant outpatient follow-up is provided by transplant nephrologists, physician assistants and nurse practitioners in the nephrology outpatient clinic, as well as in specialized outpatient clinics for transplant-related infectious diseases, endocrinology, dermatology and cardiology. All tissue typing, cross matching and alloantibody assays and therapeutic apheresis occur on the Mayo Clinic campus.
