Identifying Candidates for Kidney Transplantation
A3-3178.1, RDF-231
After a patient is diagnosed as having ESRD, the physician should determine if the
patient is suitable for kidney transplantation. If the patient is a suitable kidney transplant
candidate, a living donor transplant is considered first because of the high success rate in
comparison to a deceased donor transplant. Whether one or multiple potential donors are
available, the following sections provide a general description of the usual course of
events in preparation for a living donor kidney transplant.
