Renal Transplants
Fewer
locations perform canine
transplants because they are inherently more
complicated. Although the surgery itself is essentially
the same, donor matching and rejection prevention are more
challenging for dogs than for cats. In addition, antirejection
drugs are much more expensive for dogs because they are
larger animals. Auburn University has recently developed
a new protocol in which both a kidney transplant and bone
marrow transplant are performed at the same time. Performing
these procedures simultaneously seems to reduce instances
of rejection in the recipients.
Here
are some facilities that are performing canine kidney transplants:
