The UCSF Connie Frank Transplant Center cares for patients before and after kidney and pancreas transplantation. Patients who need a pancreas transplant suffer from type 1 diabetes, and most require a kidney transplant as well. We also treat patients who receive an islet auto-transplant after a total pancreatectomy (surgical removal of the pancreas) for acute pancreatitis.

COVID-19 and transplant patients
