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

UCSF strongly encourages patients awaiting kidney and pancreas transplants to get vaccinated. We also recommend that patients awaiting organ transplants follow the guidelines for immunocompromised patients from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
