Title: NEW: Frequently Asked Questions about Kidney Transplant Evaluation and Listing
Post by: okarol on September 17, 2015, 12:31:32 PM
In case you haven't seen it, here is a new resource brochure which addresses common questions potential kidney transplant candidates have about the process for seeking a kidney transplant evaluation and listing.
The brochure is most appropriate for people who have recently developed end-stage renal failure or who may soon encounter it. It encourages them to begin considering a transplant evaluation before needing dialysis, ideally when their GFR is between 25 and 30. It also addresses generalities about medical issues that may affect transplant eligibility, while encouraging them to contact a transplant program for a more detailed assessment.
