FAQs
What is the first step of a kidney transplantation?
The first step of a kidney transplantation is evaluation. A physician referral is not required.
Where is the kidney transplant evaluation conducted?
You will complete your evaluation at your home center. If approved for listing there, other centers can review your information to determine listing eligibility.
Can a patient be listed at multiple centers?
Yes. If approved for listing at the home center, eligible patients may have their information reviewed by other participating centers to determine if they qualify for listing there.
What is the Kidney Access Network?
A network that allows qualified patients to begin evaluation at one home center and potentially be listed at other participating centers for access to more donor kidneys.
Who can review the patient’s information for listing at other centers?
Each program independently determines whether the patient meets its listing criteria.
What is the typical wait time for a transplant?
Wait times can vary by patient and program, depending on donor availability, medical criteria and organ matching.

"Great bedside manner, took time with us and never made us feel rushed. Professional, knowledgeable and caring. He even made us laugh which was very welcome at a stressful time. Husbands transplant went great. Incision was perfect."
— Healthgrades patient review of Dr. James Lim"When you are placed on the transplant list, you go for testing, they do encourage you to look if you have friends or family who are willing to be tested. So it took me a little while to kind of warm up to the idea. But, you know, just in talking with my surgeon, doctor, Lim, he was just such a great support."
