Yes, Maryland has two kidney transplant centers, both located in Baltimore just blocks from one another.

While both centers are highly regarded and capable of performing complex transplants, only about 20% of waitlisted patients receive a transplant at each center.

Yes. Both Johns Hopkins and the University of Maryland perform transplants for international patients, provided they bring their own living donor and can cover the cost of the procedure.
