Abstract

While the urologist’s involvement in kidney transplantation varies from center to center and country to country, urologists remain integral to many programs across Canada. From the early days of kidney transplant to contemporary times, the leadership, vision, and skillset of Canadian urologists have helped progress the field. In this review of Canadian urologists’ role in kidney transplantation, the achievements of this professional group are highlighted and celebrated. Original contributors to the field, as well as notable achievements are highlighted, with a focus on the impact of Canadian urologists.
