Liver Transplant Orientation
The staff at The Transplant Institute offers educational classes for both liver and kidney transplantation.
Date: 8/13/2009 3:00PM - 8/13/2009 5:00PM
The liver transplant orientation class is held on the second Thursday of each month from 3-5 pm. We require every patient who is being considered for liver transplantation to attend one class. We strongly encourage you to bring a family member or support person to the class as well. Topics covered in the class include:
- Caring for yourself while waiting for transplant
- Understanding your MELD score
- Symptoms of liver disease and their management
- Medications and side-effects
- Nutritional issues and concerns
- Transplant hospitalization and aftercare
- Financial and insurance issues
