Patients are assessed by the pancreas transplant team using tests and interviews to see if they’re good candidates for surgery. Clients are considered for a pancreas transplant if it’s likely the surgery will help the person live longer and have a better quality of life.

Clients are assessed for:

• how urgent their need is
• health and medical history
• medical test results

Clients should:

• be able to follow a complex medical treatment plan
• be emotionally stable
• have social support
• have realistic attitudes about their illness and the transplant surgery

Healthcare providers should consult the Alberta Referral Directory for service referral information.

An estimated wait time will be provided at the time of appointment booking.
