Transplant Surgeon Shennen Mao, M.D. from Mayo Clinic, shares valuable insights into organ donor options, the transplant journey from receiving "the call" through post-operative recovery, and emerging innovations shaping the future of kidney transplantation. Her presentation explores groundbreaking research in kidney rehabilitation, kidney-on-a-chip technology, 3D bioprinting, and xenotransplantation, highlighting promising advances that may expand transplant opportunities for patients in the years ahead.
What should you know as you prepare for a kidney transplant?
The discussion explores expanded donor options that may help some patients reach transplant sooner, including hepatitis C-positive donors, high-KDPI kidneys, ABO-incompatible transplantation and kidneys that have experienced acute injury.
You'll also learn about:
• Living kidney donation and kidney paired exchange
• How blood type can affect transplant waiting time
• What happens during kidney transplant surgery
• Hospital stay and early recovery expectations
• Pain management, mobility and follow-up care
• Delayed graft function and dialysis after transplant
• Factors that influence transplant waiting time
• Sensitization and CPRA
• Emerging research in organ rehabilitation, kidney-on-a-chip technology, 3D-printed organs and xenotransplantation
The program concludes with an extended patient Q&A addressing common questions about donor eligibility, transplant calls, kidney placement, dialysis access, repeat transplantation and other concerns patients may have while waiting for a kidney.
Whether you are currently on the transplant waiting list, considering living donation or supporting a loved one through the transplant process, this discussion offers practical information to help you better understand the road ahead.
