Pre-Kidney-Kidney/Pancreas Transplant Patient Guide

The Ochsner team has designed a guide to help you along your transplant journey. We take a personal interest in you and your well-being.

We believe very strongly in treating more than just kidney and/or kidney-kidney pancreas disease. We treat the whole person. We aim to restore the quality of your organ(s), health and life as a whole.

The purpose of your guide is to:

• Give you the transplant information you need.
• Encourage you to take the best possible care of yourself.
• Prepare you for the lifetime commitments that come with a new organ(s).

Your guide takes you through the stages of the transplant journey. These stages are covered in nine chapters. Each chapter goes over important aspects about that stage.
