Hello Doctor. Would like to know if there is a timeframe in between organ transplant surgeries. How soon you can have a kidney transplant surgery after an orthototic liver transplant considering everything went well post liver transplant (Hx of hepatic ca prior to liver transplant). Thank you
Hello and welcome to HCM. As an Urologist and kidney transplant surgeon,i can understand your anxiety. As you had a liver Ca.,the kidneys need to be evaluated,for normal status. All areas in body,will need to be free of cancer,on evaluation. Once that's normal,the transplant can be done,with the best HLA match. The donor's blood tests,with angiogram, will need to be done. If you've any doubts,send all the reports to me,as a direct question. Dr.Matthew J. Mangat.
