Looking for a Donor!!:
Hi George,
Congratulations! You were approved for a Kidney Transplant in our Selection Conference today.
If you have potential living donors, they can now initiate the donor process by completing a Health History Questionnaire found at our Living Donor website: mayoclinic.org/livingdonor and click on Start Your Donor Evaluation. As a recipient, we also encourage you to utilize the Living Donor Toolkit to educate yourself on the Living Donor process.
I will contact you again when we have written insurance approval and I am ready to activate you to the Deceased Donor (UNOS) Waiting List (usually in the next 1-2 weeks).
Once added to our Wait List, you will be required to complete the following:
HLA testing needs to be completed every 60 days.
If you complete your blood work at an outside facility, you will receive a specimen collection kit from Mayo Clinic in the mail.
If you complete your blood work at a Mayo Clinic facility, you will not receive a specimen collection kit.
You will be expected to return for Waitlist appointments at annual intervals to ensure you are medically stable to receive a transplant.
You will be contacted by the Transplant Center when you are due to return for appointments.
Sincerely,
Lina Cornell, R.N.
