Kidney for Life Initiative Giving kidney transplant recipients the opportunity to receive a well-matched kidney that could last a lifetime.

I Need a Kidney I Am Considering Kidney Donation

Why Kidney for Life?

Kidney for Life is an initiative that uses advanced DNA sequencing technology to analyze the biological match between kidney transplant recipients and living kidney donors. This helps ensure the best possible match so the transplanted kidney can last as long as possible—potentially for the patient’s entire life.

Cutting-Edge
Matching Technology
Lower risk of
rejection
Less risk of
graft failure
Opportunity for safely
reducing immunosuppression
Fewer side effects from
immunosuppressive medication

The Kidney for Life initiative is revolutionizing the field of kidney transplantation by focusing not just on successful transplants, but on maximizing how long a donated kidney can function.
