@mariad1958 It has been noted that a kidney could be viable for transplant up to 36 hours after a donor death, for the procedure. But I am sure your transplant center would not really want to try to go that long! Truly, I don't think there is a set rule, it is more on a case-by-case basis with the circumstances around each case.

Is she doing a deceased donor transplant, or living donor?

@gingerw she's on the list for possibly deceased donor, we were unable to get a living donor. I attempted to donate and didn't qualify for health reasons of my own.
