Welcome @aa4, You must be so concerned for your wife. I know you want the best for her. Do you live far from the hospital? I hope you are also able to keep up your sleep and health as you care for your wife and, undoubtedly, worry about her.

From my limited understanding, it is not likely that another institution or transplant center would evaluate someone by video consult, who is in the hospital elsewhere. In hospitalized situations, you and your wife would have to request that her doctors contact another facility or transplant center. This would facilitate the transfer of medical information and, if possible, the transfer between hospitals. The other hospital would likely only do that if they can offer something the current hospital can’t.

At Mayo Clinic, we accept testing and evaluations that have been done already as long as the information is current and testing of high quality. We would only repeat tests that our experts consider necessary to update for optimal care.

If you would like your wife's current doctors to consult with Mayo Clinic transplant experts, they can call this 24/7 number – 507-284-2511 - and ask to speak to the liver transplant doctors on-call.
