Loma Linda University Health transplant care
For patients in Southern Nevada facing advanced liver and kidney conditions, Loma Linda University Health in Southern California serves as a vital regional destination for comprehensive organ transplant evaluations, complex hepatology treatments, and innovative therapies. Explore how this regional center supports patients navigating critical stages of care.
Comprehensive transplant institute
Loma Linda University Health operates an established transplant institute offering specialized care for liver and kidney disease. Because Nevada has historically had limited in-state liver transplant options, Loma Linda represents one of the closest academic centers providing complete transplant evaluations, living donor programs, and dedicated post-surgical follow-up.
Advanced hepatology and oncology treatments
Beyond organ transplantation, Loma Linda is known for specialized hepatology management for end-stage cirrhosis, acute liver failure, and liver cancer. With pioneering capabilities such as hospital-based proton beam radiation therapy, patients receive coordinated multi-disciplinary care suited to their specific medical diagnosis.
Navigating referrals and clinical research
Patients seeking evaluation at Loma Linda University Health are encouraged to discuss a referral directly with their primary hepatologist or nephrologist. Loma Linda also hosts clinical trials evaluating promising new therapies. While The Liver Hope Foundation provides patient navigation and community support, your medical team will guide clinical eligibility and formal appointment scheduling.
