Frequently asked questions
How long does the pre-transplant evaluation take?
It varies by individual, but pre-transplant evaluation typically involves several weeks of testing to assess overall health, organ compatibility, and any risk factors before a patient is listed or a living donor is confirmed.
Can a living donor be a non-family member?
Yes — a living kidney donor does not need to be a blood relative. Spouses, friends, and unrelated donors can often donate, subject to compatibility testing and the transplant team's evaluation.
How soon after transplant can I return to normal activities?
Most patients gradually resume light activity within a few weeks, with a fuller return to normal routines over one to three months — though this depends on individual recovery and should be guided by your transplant team.
