When your evaluation is completed, the transplant team will determine, based on the results, whether a transplant is necessary and if you are physically able to undergo the procedure.

Once the pre-transplant evaluation is completed, the patient’s profile is presented to the selection committee for categorization and prioritization. Patients are generally assigned to one of four categories:

• Suitable and ready, with listing and initiation of donor search
• Suitable but too well, with placement on inactive status and followed with consultation with physician
• Potentially reversible current contraindication, with treatment and recategorization at a later date
• Irreversible absolute contraindication with denial of transplantation
• Transplant options for alcoholic cirrhosis
