How is a living-donor transplantation scheduled?
One of the advantages of living-donor transplantation is that the procedure can be scheduled at a time that works best for both donor and recipient. For the donor, the major issue is his or her work and family schedule. For the recipient, the principal constraint is health condition and control of complications. For example, if the recipient develops a sudden fever, the procedure will be delayed until the cause is found and any potential infection controlled.
