The organs are allocated on ABO compatibility, antigen matching, and time waiting. During the waiting time for an organ, we will continue to monitor your patient's condition.
Support groups are available throughout the entire transplant process.
These groups are held once a month at Mount Sinai by specially trained social workers. After discharge from The Mount Sinai Hospital, the patient will require periodic follow-up. This follow-up is a crucial aspect of a successful transplant, since new medications will be prescribed which must be taken for life to avoid rejection episodes. During the first few months, this drug regimen will be monitored by our team. Afterawrds, the patient is ready to go back to his referring physician for periodic follow-up, with input from our transplant team.
