Institution-Specific Transplant Requirements
I cannot answer this question based on the evidence provided, as none of the available guidelines or research studies address institution-specific pre-transplant evaluation protocols for Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU) or University of Washington (UW).
Why This Question Cannot Be Answered from Clinical Guidelines
The evidence provided consists entirely of:
- KDIGO guidelines for post-transplant monitoring and management of kidney transplant recipients 1
- Research studies evaluating proteinuria measurement methods in transplant recipients 2, 3, 4, 5
- Guidelines for recurrent disease management after transplantation 6, 7, 8
None of these sources contain information about:
- Pre-transplant evaluation requirements at specific institutions
- Institutional protocols for transplant candidate screening
- Comparative practices between OHSU and UW transplant programs
What the Evidence Does Address
The KDIGO guidelines do recommend 24-hour urine testing after transplantation for monitoring purposes, including measuring urine volume every 1-2 hours for at least 24 hours after transplantation and measuring urine protein excretion at baseline and periodically thereafter 1. However, these are post-transplant monitoring recommendations, not pre-transplant evaluation requirements.
How to Obtain This Information
Contact the transplant programs directly at OHSU and UW to inquire about their specific pre-transplant evaluation protocols, as these requirements vary by institution and are not standardized in clinical practice guidelines.
