Dear friends,
@ca426, @chill28, @cmael, @lori120ann, @mikechevy51, @mlmcg, @newlifesociety,
@bamagirlgina , @jodeej
I want to introduce you to a new member that I recently met on the Kidney and Bladder Group.
@ginal, has recently begun Hemodialysis and has questions about possible transpant listing.
@ginal, I invite you to join us. What is it that you would like to know?
Rosemary

@ginal, This is a very good question, and I want to share a couple of resources that might gt you started. But first, I want to ask you' What has your current doctor said about this? That is the first place to start because he/she knows your health situation. (I am a volunteer with no medical training) I believe that that is where you can start as far as getting a referral to a transplant department for a consultation as a beginning step. I think that some other members might have more personal experience, and might be better 'qualified' to respond.
Here is link to Mayo's Departments and Centers for Nephrology and Hypertension

and
Here is the Kidney Transplant Program where there is some additional information. And also contact information where you can talk to someone directly about your situation.

@ginal, I hope that this is a helpful beginning as you move forward.
Let me if it is what you are looking for.
