What to consider before transplant

  • Eligibility: Candidates for organ transplants must undergo thorough evaluations to determine if they are suitable for the procedure. This includes assessing overall health, organ function, and potential risks.
  • Donor Availability: There is often a shortage of donor organs, which can lead to long waiting times. Matching the donor’s organ with the recipient’s blood type and tissue type is crucial for a successful transplant. Medical City Dallas participates in UNOS (United Network for Organ Sharing), a nationwide program whose mission is to increase the number of organs recovered and the number of transplants performed, as well as to ensure equitable access to transplant for all patients.
  • Post-Operative Care: After a transplant, patients typically require extensive follow-up care, including regular check-ups, blood tests, and imaging studies to monitor the function of the transplanted organ and manage any potential complications. Patients may expect 3 to 6 months or more of recovery time before feeling fully healed.
  • Lifestyle Changes: Recipients may need to make lifestyle adjustments, such as changes in diet, exercise, and medication adherence, to support the health of their transplanted organ and overall well-being.
