Nephrology
Kidney transplant evaluation
A structured work-up to determine whether a patient with kidney failure is a suitable candidate for transplant.
When this is typically needed
- End-stage kidney disease
- On or approaching dialysis
- Seeking an alternative to long-term dialysis
What it involves
A series of tests — cardiac, infectious disease screening, tissue typing — plus coordination with a transplant surgical team.
What to expect
The evaluation itself takes weeks; being listed or matched for a donor kidney can take considerably longer.
