What Kidney Transplant Eligibility Involves
Kidney transplant eligibility requirements are determined by the treating hospital's transplant team, not by coordination services. Here is what patients should understand about the evaluation process and how to prepare.
Medical Evaluation Is the Foundation of Eligibility
The kidney transplant eligibility assessment begins with a thorough review of the patient's medical history, current health status, and kidney function. The hospital's transplant team evaluates factors including blood type, tissue compatibility, cardiovascular health, infection risk, and overall surgical fitness. Patients with well-managed comorbidities may still be eligible, but this determination is made exclusively by licensed physicians. Having recent and comprehensive medical records available significantly streamlines this evaluation process.
The Role of Your Current Nephrologist
Before exploring international transplant options, patients should discuss their plans with their current nephrologist or treating physician. Your doctor can provide critical medical records, offer perspective on your transplant readiness, and help identify any health issues that should be addressed before traveling abroad. A supportive relationship with your home physician also ensures continuity of care after the transplant, which is essential for long-term success. Understanding the full transplant coordination process helps patients prepare for these conversations.
Psychological and Logistical Readiness
Kidney transplant eligibility is not purely medical. Patients must also be psychologically prepared for major surgery, an extended stay abroad, and the lifelong commitment to immunosuppressive medication. Logistical readiness — including the ability to travel internationally, arrange accommodation, and have a support person accompany them — is equally important. Hospitals may assess psychological readiness as part of their evaluation. Patients who are uncertain about their readiness should discuss these concerns openly with both their physician and our coordination team before proceeding.
