My Son needs a Kidney Transplant I need advice selecting a Hospital

Posted by deedee99 @deedee99, 1 day ago

I’m in NYC, my Son needs a Kidney Transplant and I need to be tested to be a living donor. I’m not confident in the Hospital he’s dealing with or their outcomes & mortality rate afterwards. Is there an organization that I can get information on what are the best hospitals in New York to consider, unfortunately we do not have a Mayo Clinic near us. I also would like him to get a second opinion.
I would greatly appreciate the information.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Transplants Support Group.

Hi @deedee69 Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect!

Here is a link that can help you look at resources in New York State! It is from Renal Support Network [rsnhope.org]; https://www.rsnhope.org/rsn-programs/kidney-disease-resources/renal-resources-state/#1502381807003-ea35ede2-1e61

Are you able to share a bit more information about your son's situation? Is he currently on dialysis?

I'm not an organization, but I am in my 3rd year post kidney transplant and doing well in NYC. I had it at the main Mt. Sinai and have nothing but good things to say about it so far.
