Once all of the evaluations are complete and you are approved as a kidney donor, your surgery date will be set. The surgery date will depend on your availability, the recipient’s needs and the operating room (OR) schedule. Once the surgery date is set, the donor coordinator will book a few more appointments, including:
- Pre-operative assessment and a physical, questionnaire and blood work 28 days or less before surgery
- Blood work, urine test and questionnaire at two weeks before the operation
- Appointment with the surgeon to sign the informed consent (if not already done)
