The cost of a kidney transplant in Spain typically ranges from $80,000 to $110,000. Pricing can vary depending on the hospital, the surgeon’s expertise, whether the transplant is from a living or deceased donor, and the complexity of pre-transplant workups. In the United States, the average cost is $400,000 (per UNOS). This means kidney transplants in Spain are about 76% less expensive than in the U.S.
In Spain, the price usually covers pre-transplant evaluation, surgery, anesthesia, hospital stay, basic immunosuppressive medications, and initial follow-ups. In the U.S., the quoted cost often includes only the surgery and hospital stay, with medications, donor workup, and extended aftercare billed separately. Always confirm exactly what’s included with your chosen Spanish clinic or hospital.
