General Resources
American Society of Transplantation
The American Society of Transplantation was founded in 1982 and is an organization of more than 3000 professionals dedicated to advancing the field of transplantation and improving patient care by promoting research, education, advocacy, and organ donation.
The Transplantation Society
The Transplantation Society is a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) which serves as an international forum for the world-wide advancement of organ transplantation.
The National Kidney Foundation
The National Kidney Foundation is the leading organization in the U.S. dedicated to the awareness, prevention and treatment of kidney disease for hundreds of thousands of healthcare professionals, millions of patients and their families, and tens of millions of Americans at risk.
American Liver Foundation
The American Liver Foundation was created in 1976 by the American Association for the Study of Liver Disease (AASLD) to facilitate, advocate and promote education, support and research for the prevention, treatment and cure of liver disease.
