My son needs a kidney transplant and doctors will not put him on the transplant list. what should i do?

Outside referral: As a potential recipient, the patient has the right to be referred to another facility for a second opinion if the original center does not find him/her to be a suitable candidate. However, one should try to ascertain the rationale for this and correct any deficiencies (is your son compliant with his meds, therapy) before going for a 2nd opinion.

Difficult to answer: Your question sounds desperate. You need to speak directly with the members of your local transplant team, to have them explain why he is not going to be placed on the wait list. If he is an adult, he should know already. His doctors may believe a transplant is not safe. You certainly have the right to collect his medical records and have him evaluated by another transplant program.
