AKI is common in pediatric kidney, liver and heart transplant patients.

AKI in pediatric solid organ transplant patients is common, affecting 37-57%, depending on the type of transplanted organ. Ask us how BioPorto’s NGAL tests can help you assess AKI risk in these vulnerable patients.

New father donates liver to daughter Less than a year after he and his husband adopted Ellie, living liver donation allowed Sean Eiles to help save his daughter, who needed a liver transplant.

It's National Pediatric Transplant Week! Earlier this month, @uwhealth.bsky.social shared a story about a father who became a living liver donor to give his daughter a second chance at life. Our surgeons led the teams that performed the transplant. #KidsTransplantWeek go.wisc.edu/njc1vy
