What to Expect at Your Evaluation
Our multidisciplinary transplant team will assess your condition and recommend the best course of treatment.
When you have been referred to the Miami Transplant Institute, you can expect a comprehensive evaluation to determine the best course of treatment. An early analysis of your liver disease is desirable because it can lead to better long-term outcomes.
Individual Evaluations
Every patient considering a liver transplant is evaluated on an individual basis. Typically, an evaluation includes a thorough evaluation of your medical history, blood and urine tests, imaging, a physical examination, an assessment by hepatologists , transplant surgeons, dietitians , infectious disease specialists, nephrologists, cardiologists, an insurance review by our financial counselor, and additional testing as needed.
Reviewing the Results
If the recommendation is to move forward with transplantation, you will be placed on the national waiting list of the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS). Liver recipients are matched to potential donors according to blood type and severity of liver disease, among other factors. Your team will also discuss a partial liver transplant from a living donor if that is a treatment option.
Finally, it’s time for the surgery process to begin.
