Pediatric Clinical Transplantation

The Pediatric Clinical Transplantation specialization focuses on providing comprehensive care to pediatric transplant patients. Our team of pediatric transplant specialists works closely with transplant surgeons to monitor the non-surgical aspects of a child's care. This includes adjusting medications, monitoring organ function, and identifying any complications that may arise. Additionally, our specialists manage other medical issues that may occur during the transplant process. While they do not perform surgery, they play a crucial role in coordinating the patient's care until transplantation and providing follow-up care to the recipient in some centers. General Responsibilities: 1. Ensuring that surgery patients receive compatible organs for transplantation. 2. Assessing the overall health of pediatric transplant patients. 3. Managing the patient's medical care, including conducting necessary tests and prescribing medications. 4. Collaborating with transplant surgeons in the operating room to assist in transplant procedures. 5. Coordinating the patient's care until transplantation, working closely with the transplant coordinator. 6. Providing follow-up care to transplant recipients in select centers.
