@dotygl I don't know that a transplant center can tell a patient before the procedure, just what side effects they might experience. Each patient is different. Of course, they want a great donor/recipient match, and strive to do that. The criteria they use may be different for different people, based on comorbidities, root cause of the kidney issue, additional medications a patient is on, age, etc. In my experience, there is always going to be some side effect of a transplant procedure and post-transplant medications. It bears the patient well to be on top of things and let the transplant team know of concerns in order to hopefully work around them. Even years after, medications may need to be changed around, doses adjusted.
