Transplant Evaluation

Finally, you will meet with a kidney transplant coordinator, who becomes your point of contact with our program. The coordinator reviews your test results and helps to arrange further tests if needed. Once all the tests are complete, our team works as a committee to determine if you are a good candidate to go on the list to receive a kidney transplant.

Once the evaluation is complete, the patient’s chart will be reviewed by the physicians and multi-disciplinary team at the weekly selection committee meeting. 

The selection committee may approve the patient for listing, require additional information prior to making a decision, or determine that the patient is not a candidate for transplantation. The patient, referring physician, and dialysis unit (if applicable) will receive letters notifying of the committee’s decision. Once a patient has been approved for transplant listing, insurance authorization will be obtained if needed prior to being placed on the national transplant waiting list.
