Rachel Lestz, MD, not one to mince words or to conserve them, is abruptly stuck in a pause, halfway between a plausible hypothetical and an oncoming dilemma. “Am I that curious a person?” she asks

In end-stage renal disease, Maverick needed a kidney transplant. When a donor didn't turn up fast enough, his parents decided to look in-house.

The 2-year-old recently passed a major milestone, and her mother reports she is happy and thriving.

Researchers are searching for biomarkers to better identify which children with acute liver failure will recover on their own—and which will need a liver transplant.

Living donation and significantly lower wait times helped the program to perform 35 liver transplants in 2022.
