Renal autotransplant: End your pain and restart your life

UW Health's Renal Autotransplant Program is the largest program of its kind in the United States. People seek our expertise from across the nation and around the world. Our experts diagnose and treat people experiencing loin pain-related issues and other medical concerns.

Loin pain-related issues and other concerns that might require an evaluation for renal autotransplant include:

• Primary loin pain hematuria syndrome

• Nutcracker syndrome

• Kidney stones with chronic flank pain (pain between the ribs and hip)

• Any other rare renal pain syndrome

• Renal artery aneurysms

• Ureteral injury/dysfunction

The UW Health renal autotransplant team is dedicated to serving people whose loin pain might mean that they need renal autotransplant.

Our program includes surgeons, nephrologists (kidney specialists) for adults and children, a urologist, interventional radiologists and advanced practice providers. They work closely with our program manager, nurse coordinator and social worker to guide you through your transplant. Our financial counselor can connect you with helpful resources. Our team is committed to working together to provide care tailored to your specific needs.
