Patients must coordinate with their primary care physicians or insurance providers to complete necessary health screenings and immunizations prior to evaluation testing. The list includes age-specific requirements such as colonoscopies, mammograms, and PAP smears, as well as universal requirements including annual dental clearance, comprehensive immunization records for Hepatitis, Tetanus, Pneumonia, and Influenza, and yearly TB skin testing. Patients are instructed to maintain these records and submit them upon request to their assigned Transplant Coordinator to ensure eligibility for evaluation. The guidelines emphasize that specific screenings like Cologuard are not accepted as valid alternatives for standard colonoscopies, and certain immunizations must be obtained outside of the dialysis environment. This protocol serves as a critical pre-requisite for patients undergoing the transplantation evaluation process, ensuring all health markers are optimized for successful clinical outcomes.",{"@graph":14,"@context":73},[15,34,56],{"@type":16,"itemListElement":17},"BreadcrumbList",[18,23,27,31],{"item":19,"name":20,"@type":21,"position":22},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",1,{"item":24,"name":25,"@type":21,"position":26},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/","Template",2,{"item":28,"name":29,"@type":21,"position":30},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/forms/","Forms",3,{"item":32,"name":10,"@type":21,"position":33},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/umc-center-for-transplantation-preventive-health-maintenance-requirements/284178/",4,{"url":32,"name":10,"@type":35,"image":36,"author":41,"headline":10,"publisher":44,"fileFormat":47,"inLanguage":8,"description":12,"dateModified":48,"datePublished":49,"encodingFormat":47,"isAccessibleForFree":50,"interactionStatistic":51},"DigitalDocument",{"url":37,"@type":38,"width":39,"height":40},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/umc-center-for-transplantation-preventive-health-maintenance-requirements/284178.png","ImageObject",442,249,{"name":42,"@type":43},"Grenda","Person",{"url":19,"name":45,"@type":46},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-11-01","2026-09-17",true,{"@type":52,"interactionType":53,"userInteractionCount":55},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":54},"ViewAction",16,{"@type":57,"mainEntity":58},"FAQPage",[59,65,69],{"name":60,"@type":61,"acceptedAnswer":62},"What are the age requirements for a colonoscopy?","Question",{"text":63,"@type":64},"Patients 50 years old or above are required to have a colonoscopy, and the results must specify the timeframe for a repeat procedure; Cologuard is not accepted as a valid screening.","Answer",{"name":66,"@type":61,"acceptedAnswer":67},"What immunization records must be submitted?",{"text":68,"@type":64},"All patients must provide records for Hepatitis A (2 doses), Hepatitis B (4 doses or antibodies), Tetanus/TDAP (every 10 years), Pneumonia (every 5 years), and an annual Flu shot.",{"name":70,"@type":61,"acceptedAnswer":71},"Is dental clearance mandatory for all transplant candidates?",{"text":72,"@type":64},"Yes, a yearly dental clearance is required for all patients, which involves completing the attached medical clearance form with your dentist.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":32,"og:type":75,"og:title":10,"og:site_name":45,"og:description":12},"article",{"robots":77,"canonical":32},"index,follow",{"doc_id":79,"site_id":7},284178,1790625223,{"code":4,"msg":82,"data":83},"success",[84,89,94,99,104,108,112,117,122],{"id":85,"doc_module":22,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":86,"show_sort_weight":87,"slug":88},11,"Presentations",90,"presentations",{"id":90,"doc_module":22,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":91,"show_sort_weight":92,"slug":93},12,"Resumes",80,"resumes",{"id":95,"doc_module":22,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":96,"show_sort_weight":97,"slug":98},14,"Invoices",70,"invoices",{"id":100,"doc_module":22,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":101,"show_sort_weight":102,"slug":103},15,"Posters",60,"posters",{"id":55,"doc_module":22,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":105,"show_sort_weight":106,"slug":107},"Social Media",50,"social-media",{"id":109,"doc_module":22,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":29,"show_sort_weight":110,"slug":111},17,40,"forms",{"id":113,"doc_module":22,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":114,"show_sort_weight":115,"slug":116},18,"Letters",30,"letters",{"id":118,"doc_module":22,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":119,"show_sort_weight":120,"slug":121},21,"Paper Templates",5,"papers-templates",{"id":123,"doc_module":22,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":124,"show_sort_weight":4,"slug":125},158,"General","general-158",{"code":4,"msg":82,"data":127},{"doc_id":79,"user_id":128,"nickname":42,"user_avatar":129,"doc_module":22,"category_id":109,"category_name":29,"doc_title":10,"doc_description":12,"doc_content":130,"file_id":131,"file_url":132,"file_type":133,"file_size":134,"view_count":55,"is_deleted":4,"is_public":22,"is_downloadable":22,"audit_status":22,"page_count":26,"language":135,"language_code":8,"site_id":7,"html_lang":8,"table_of_contents":136,"faqs":137,"seo_title":138,"seo_description":12,"update_tm":139,"read_time":22},7971474921005,"https://ap-avatar.wpscdn.com/davatar_29158cc5080c5b710cf443261637dec0","Patients are required to complete preventive health maintenance prior to evaluation testing.
