Transplantation

Living and deceased donor liver, kidney and stem cell transplantation in nationally accredited centres.

Belgium's strengths in this specialty

Belgium has a national transplantation programme with high donor-availability rates and short waiting lists relative to neighbouring countries. Living-donor liver and kidney programmes are active, with international donor evaluations welcomed where regulation permits.

Transplantation centres in Belgium are integrated with hepatology, nephrology and haematology services — patients are not handed between services during the long pre- and post-transplant journey.

Centres we may coordinate with

International patients we work with may be treated through institutions such as UZ Leuven, Cliniques universitaires Saint-Luc, UZ Brussel and CHU Liège. We are not formal partners of any of these centres — we coordinate care into them, with appropriate humility about their independence.

The patient journey

Eligibility evaluation, workup, listing or living-donor evaluation, the transplantation itself, and the prolonged outpatient period. Each step is coordinated under one open file.

Considerations for international patients

Transplantation requires the most prolonged engagement of any service we offer. Accommodation, family support and post-transplant follow-up are planned at outset.

Frequently asked

  • Where Belgian and home-country regulations permit, yes. The legal framework is reviewed for every case before clinical workup begins.

  • The first three months are conducted in Belgium. Subsequent follow-up can be transitioned to your home centre with the discharge plan written by your Belgian team.
