My liver was transplanted in 2021 in Oregon. I may be moving to Arizona next year and queried here at Mayo Connect about Mayo in Phoenix taking me and my transplant. As I found, the hospital that did the transplant keeps responsibility for it no matter where I am. After I thought about it, Mayo didn't do it, doesn't know exactly what the surgeons did in the OR during the process. They couldn't know any extraordinary the surgery team may have done without extensive liaison with my transplant hospital, hampering Mayo's ability to help me. Plus they're picking up liability for something they did not do.

It made sense to me. With the age of your kidney, seems like Mayo would do something, unless the hospital that did your 2001 transplant is still in business and has your records. I wish you speed in getting this resolved.
