@hana121706 Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect!

He originally listed for transplant at Loma Linda University in the Los Angeles area. After 3+ years he double listed, adding Scripps Institute near San Diego. He was prepared mentally to wait 8 years or so, for a kidney. He waited 5.5 years, and received a cadaver thru Scripps Oct. 1, 2016.

Are you dealing with kidney disease, and facing a possible transplant or dialysis?
