UNOS rule changes GGT & Multiple Listing

[Guest guest]

Of interest…. They will discontinue using the

lab test GGT.

Also on mulitple listing….

Numerous professionals and patients have requested

modification of policy 3.2.2 (Multiple Listing Permitted) to be listed at

multiple transplant centers within a DSA.

Note: It is still the transplant center’s

decision to list a candidate who is already listed at another transplant

center.

Further, current educational materials distributed by

UNOS and the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) convey that this

type of multiple listing is permitted. Currently, over 500 candidates are

listed at multiple centers within a DSA.
