Read the first 7 Living Donor Assessment Process flashcards as text

  1. During cardiovascular risk assessment for a living donor, which finding would typically prompt exclusion from donation?

    Answer: Recent myocardial infarction within the past 6 months

    A recent MI indicates significant cardiovascular instability that poses unacceptable surgical and anesthetic risk for a living donor.

  2. What does ABO compatibility testing determine in the living donor evaluation?

    Answer: Whether the donor's blood type is compatible for organ transplantation

    ABO compatibility testing confirms that donor and recipient blood types are compatible to prevent hyperacute rejection.

  3. Which urinalysis finding in a living kidney donor candidate would most warrant further nephrological workup?

    Answer: Persistent microalbuminuria on two or more occasions

    Persistent microalbuminuria suggests subclinical kidney disease and requires nephrology evaluation before clearing a candidate for donation.

  4. A living donor candidate is found to have a solitary kidney on imaging despite having two normal kidneys on prior records. What is the most appropriate action?

    Answer: Repeat the imaging to rule out technical error before making any decision

    Before any clinical decision, the imaging finding should be confirmed with repeat or alternate imaging to rule out technical artifact.

  5. When does the UNOS Living Donor Follow-Up policy require transplant centers to collect and submit follow-up data on living donors?

    Answer: At 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years post-donation

    UNOS/OPTN policy mandates follow-up data collection at 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years post-donation to monitor donor outcomes.

  6. Which infectious disease screening test is mandatory for all living organ donors in the United States per OPTN policy?

    Answer: HIV antibody/antigen combination test

    HIV screening via combination antibody/antigen test is mandatory for all living donors under OPTN policy to prevent disease transmission.

  7. A living donor candidate reports smoking one pack per day for 15 years. What is the most appropriate coordinator recommendation?

    Answer: Counsel cessation, set a target quit date, and reassess after confirmed abstinence

    Smoking significantly increases perioperative and long-term renal risk; cessation counseling with reassessment after confirmed abstinence is the standard approach.
