Kristin, I have stage 5 Polycystic Kidney Disease and just started PD home dialysis. I desparately need a donor transplant. I followed the above info and wanted to know what the Mayo Clinic average wait time is for A+ blood type now. I also would like to know how to get on the Mayo Clinic donor wait list. I find it very difficult to find wait list information. Also, do you have to be living in Phoenix or specifically within an hours' drive to Phoenix to qualify? Thank you for your support. I live in the San Francisco bay area in California. Barbara Bird

@blbird33, Welcome to Mayo Connect. People with chronic kidney disease who meet certain criteria of kidney. I am a transplant recipient. I was referred by my doctor to the transplant center for an evaluation before I qualified for eligibility for listing on the transplant waiting list.

Here is the link to the Mayo Clinic Kidney Program. You can find details about the kidney transplant program for all three of the Mayo Clinic Locations. There is a section about eligibility , and also contact information.
Mayo Clinic transplant staff can answer your questions about the transplant process and post-transplant life.

Has your nephrologist discussed transplantation with you?
