Renal Transplantation Expert Witnesses

Renal transplantation is a treatment option for many patients with long-term kidney failure. During the procedure, surgeons transplant a healthy kidney from a donor into the recipient. The kidney may come from a living or deceased donor. Cases involving kidney transplantation can raise complex medico-legal questions. These may concern patient assessment, donor selection, surgery and postoperative monitoring. They may also involve delayed graft function, infection or rejection. NHSBT identifies these among the important complications following kidney transplantation. After surgery, the transplant team monitors the patient’s health and kidney function. Patients take immunosuppressant medicines to reduce the risk of rejection. These medicines also increase susceptibility to infection. Our renal and transplant expert witnesses provide independent, evidence-based medico-legal opinions and reports. Experts can review medical records, laboratory results and transplant assessments. They can also assess medication records, operative documentation and post-transplant monitoring.
