An update of solid organ transplantation at UAMS.
The one year survival for solid organ transplants is 70 to 90%. Encouraged by this success, the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences is expanding its organ transplant center and will offer renal, pancreas, liver, heart, and lung within a year. The limiting factor in transplants continues to be a shortage of Donor organs and the need for increased referral of potential donors.
