The cost of a kidney transplant in Germany typically ranges from $95,000 to $140,000. Prices vary depending on the hospital, surgeon’s experience, whether the transplant is from a living or deceased donor, and the complexity of the case. In the United States, the average cost is $400,000 (according to UNOS). This means kidney transplant surgery in Germany is about 71% less expensive than in the U.S.
In Germany, the price usually covers pre-transplant evaluation, surgery, hospital stay (often 2–3 weeks), immunosuppressive medications during the hospital period, and initial follow-up care. In the U.S., the listed price often only includes the surgery itself, with separate billing for donor evaluation, post-op care, and long-term medications. Patients should confirm which services, medications, and follow-up visits are included in each clinic's package.
