Transplant Living Newsletter

I received the following newsletter from Transplant Living, a service provided by UNOS (United Network of Organ Sharing). There is lots of great information on the new UNOS allocation rules, as well as on the immunosuppressant drugs prescribed post-transplant. Please take the time to read through the links on this newsletter. The information really IS invaluable!

Thanks!
