Waiting for Transplant - Lung Transplant Program - Emory Transplant Center

If you and the transplant team agree that you are a suitable transplant candidate, the team will place your name on a waiting list for a donor lung. The United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) is the national agency that regulates organ transplantation. LifeLink of Georgia facilitates organ donation for the state of Georgia . UNOS, along with LifeLink of Georgia, puts your name on a national computerized transplant waiting list and helps locate donor organs. You may access information on UNOS via the Internet at www.unos.org.

Due to a critical shortage of donor organs, adults can wait up to two years or more before a suitable donor lung is available. Often patients can wait at home during this time.
