Kidney Transplants

State Survey Interpretive Guidance Tag V513: All patients must be evaluated for their suitability for transplantation using the selection criteria for the specific transplant program.

 

 

Kidney Transplant is another treatment option for kidney failure just like Hemodialysis or Peritoneal Dialysis. Every patient has the right to be referred and evaluated for a transplant and Network 16 promotes kidney transplantation education and referral efforts on behalf of dialysis patients.
