@nianyi for my husband's liver transplant we were told that we needed to be able to get to the hospital in under 10 hours. I don't know what the time frame is for a kidney.

@Gianni In my husband's case, he was first called at midnight, then a second call at 7:30am to abstain from eating rest of the day. In that call they said organ harvest would begin at 4:30pm. The call to "come on in" was at 7pm. At that point he drove from Los Angeles to San Diego in record time.
