Transplant Guide

Your doctor tells you that your best course of treatment is to receive an organ transplant. A flood of questions fills your mind. How do you prepare? How long will you have to wait? What are the risks? The costs? How will you feel after the surgery?

This Transplant Guide has been designed to help take some of the “mystery” out of the process by providing you with some basic information and resources, which we hope will prove useful as you work with your doctor and your transplant team. We encourage you to discuss any questions and concerns with your doctor and to be an active participant in decisions regarding your medical care.

Remember, you are the most important member of your transplant team.
