Kidney Transplant Expert Witnesses

Kidney transplant is a treatment for many patients with long-term kidney failure. It involves transplanting a kidney from a living or deceased donor into the recipient, where it can take over the function of the failed kidneys. Cases involving renal transplantation can raise complex medico-legal questions. These may relate to patient assessment, donor selection, surgical treatment, immunosuppressive medication, infection, rejection, delayed graft function and subsequent outcomes. NHSBT identifies infection, rejection and delayed graft function among the recognised complications following transplantation. Our renal and transplant expert witnesses can provide independent, evidence-based medico-legal opinions and reports. Experts may review medical records, transplant assessments, laboratory results, medication records, operative documentation and post-transplant monitoring.
