Has your transplant hospital contacted you to update your patient information to determine your EPTS for new kidney allocation beginning Dec. 4th?
As of October 8, 2014, EPTS data entry or verification has been completed for 68,735 of 108,167 candidate registrations, representing 64 percent of the current kidney waitlist.
