Our Approach to Transplant and Organ Health
Virtua is the only provider of kidney, pancreas, and liver transplant services in South Jersey.
But we’re way more than just a transplant program with more than 45 years of experience.
We provide comprehensive care based on your specific needs, and we streamline referrals, tests, and procedures. Our nephrologists (kidney specialists), hepatologists (liver specialists), gastroenterologists (digestive health physicians), and endocrinologists (doctors who specialize in health conditions related to the body’s hormones) work together to evaluate and treat your condition at every stage.
If your specialist believes you would benefit from an organ transplant, we strive to shorten your time on the wait list through progressive organ procurement programs, including:
- Pursuit of living (kidney) and deceased (kidney and liver) donor organs from greater distances
- Participation in paired exchange (when incompatible living donor pairs match up, allowing the two donors to switch recipients so the individuals in need receive a new, healthy kidney), chain (involving numerous paired exchanges), and remote donor transplants (which allows donors to complete their testing and transplant surgeries at a center close to home rather than traveling to the recipient’s hospital) through organizations such as the National Kidney Registry to obtain organs from across the country
- Safe transplantation of hepatitis C-positive organs into hepatitis C-negative recipients through the administration of pre- and postoperative medication, to decrease time spent waiting for a new kidney or liver
