After deciding that kidney/pancreas transplantation is needed, you will be placed on a waiting list and you will be notified in writing. Weeks and months may pass before an organ becomes available for you. We encourage you and your family to attend the family support group sessions to help you with this process.
During the waiting period, please notify the transplant office of any change in your condition, hospitalizations, change of address and/or telephone number. We also ask that you visit the transplant clinic every 6-12 months so that we may monitor your condition.
It is important for us to be able to contact you, and that your transportation to the hospital be prearranged, because a suitable organ(s) may become available at any time. When that occurs, the transplant coordinator will provide instructions about the transplant event.
