The Next Steps:
-
After the referral, a Pre-Transplant Coordinator will contact the patient to gather information and answer any questions.
-
An evaluation packet will be sent to the patient's home. The packet contains information about the transplant process and procedure, living-donor information, information about our Transplant Center and questionnaires to be completed and returned.
-
Medical releases are included in the packet so the Transplant Center can obtain necessary records from physicians and/or hospital.
-
Once we have the questionnaires and medical records, the Transplant Team will review the information and contact the patient to schedule a time to come to Nebraska Medicine and complete the transplant evaluation.
