Follow-Up Appointments
Before you leave the hospital we will arrange your follow-up clinic appointments. A detailed plan will be given to you, based on your progress and your transplant team’s recommendations.
Weekly blood tests
When
For the first 2 months after your operation, we will see you once a week for blood tests. As you recover you will not need to come to the clinic as often.

What to Expect
You will need to have weekly blood tests. The results will be viewed by the transplant team, who will follow-up as necessary.
Regular clinic visits allow your transplant team to monitor your health and deal with any concerns or changes.

OHIP health card, or other form of government-issued ID
- Bring all medications and a list of your medications to
each clinic visit
- Bring a list of questions
- Have your bloodwork, chest X-ray and pulmonary function tests
done before the clinic, as instructed by your transplant coordinator.
* Do you live outside the GTA?
Patients who live outside the GTA are required to stay local for the first 3 months after their transplant.
Tips for clinic:
- Before each clinic visit, it is a good idea to check Easy Call to see if there has been a change in your scheduled appointment.
- When you arrive for every appointment, check in with the transplant reception area and inform the receptionist if your phone number, address, or other contact information has changed.
- Inform the receptionist if you have a new cough, fever or diarrhea.
- Attend all scheduled appointments. If you are unable to make your appointment, call the receptionist and reschedule at: 416 340 4800 Ext. 4113.
- Book your next clinic appointment before you leave.
