About me

Follow a family’s journey from first discovering their daughter has two autoimmune diseases and kidney failure to learning about kidney transplant options and finding a kidney transplant donor.

A pediatric kidney transplant has many steps and it’s helpful to know what to expect throughout the process. Watch this video to learn what happens in the hospital during and immediately after a kidney transplant. Your child’s pediatric kidney post-transplant care focuses on monitoring and observation to make sure your child’s vital signs stay at a safe level and their recovery is going well. During in-hospital care, after your child’s transplant, doctors and nurses monitor and regulate things like blood pressure and urine with the use of tubes and catheters. Watch the video to learn how your child’s doctors and nurses keep your child safe during and after their kidney transplant. 

This video will teach you about the different pediatric liver transplant options, including our live donor program, which is the largest non-directed (voluntary) program in the nation. Colorado also has one of the highest deceased-donor registration rates in the nation, with two out of every three Coloradans registered.
