Each transplant recipient requires frequent monthly testing, both before their transplant and long after, resulting in a complex and lengthy testing journey. As the number of transplant recipients continues to increase and advancing science enables improved survival rates, this process will only get longer and more complex. Here we break down the journey by stages.

Inside: Understand what’s needed at each stage of the testing journey
· Pre-transplant evaluation and pre-operative testing—from blood type to crossmatch testing
· Post-operative monitoring—a timeline for infectious disease testing
· Ongoing follow-up and care—the testing needed to support better long-term outcomes
