Transplant Recipient Registration (TRR) records are generated and available immediately after a transplant event is reported through the recipient feedback process in WaitlistSM. Forms are generated by the age at transplant, not the age at listing. The TRR record is completed by the transplant center performing the transplant. The registration and hospital discharge follow-up information is combined in this record.
Complete the TRR at hospital discharge or six weeks post transplant, whichever is first. If the recipient is still hospitalized at six weeks post transplant, provide data regarding the recipient’s progress consistent with the six-week time frame.
The TRR must be validated within 90 days of the record generation date. Example: If the recipient is removed as being transplanted on 10/1/XXXX, the TRR form will be due 90 days from that date, 12/30/XXXX. See OPTN Policies for additional information. Use the search feature to locate specific policy information on Data Submission Requirements.

BMI (Body Mass Index): The recipient's BMI will display. For candidates less than 20 years of age at the time of transplant, UNet will generate and display calculated percentiles based on the 2000 CDC growth charts.
Percentiles are the most commonly used clinical indicator to assess the size and growth patterns of individual children in the United States. Percentiles rank the position of an individual by indicating what percent of the reference population the individual would equal or exceed (i.e. on the weight-for-age growth charts, a 5 year-old girl whose weight is at the 25th percentile, weighs the same or more than 25 percent of the reference population of 5-year-old girls, and weighs less than 75 percent of the 5-year-old girls in the reference population). For additional information about CDC growth charts, see http://www.cdc.gov/.
Note: Users who check the BMI percentiles against the CDC calculator may notice a discrepancy that is caused by the CDC calculator using 1 decimal place for height and weight and UNet using 4 decimal places for weight and 2 for height.

Kidney Preservation Information:
Total Cold Ischemia Time is the number of hours between donor kidney cross-clamp to recipient kidney reperfusion, with reperfusion being defined as when the first arterial clamp is removed and blood flow restored with warm recipient blood (i.e. first clamp removed in situ).
Total Cold Ischemia Time must be reported for each organ. If both kidneys are transplanted into a single recipient in an en-bloc procedure, the kidneys will have the same total cold ischemia time. Therefore, it is not necessary to report the same time twice. However, if both kidneys are transplanted sequentially, each kidney will have a different total cold ischemia time that must be reported separately.
Total Cold Ischemia Time Right KI (OR EN-BLOC): (if pumped, include pump time): Enter the Total Cold Ischemia Time in hours for the right kidney (if only the right kidney was transplanted or if both kidneys were transplanted sequentially into a single recipient) or both kidneys (if both kidneys were transplanted into a single recipient in an en-bloc procedure).

Are any medications given currently for maintenance or anti-rejection: If medications have been given to the recipient for maintenance or anti-rejection during the time between transplant and hospital discharge, or 6 weeks post-transplant if the recipient has not been discharged, select YES. If not, select NO. If YES, complete the sections below. This field is required.
Definition of Immunosuppressive Medications
For each of the immunosuppressive medications listed, select Ind (Induction), Maint (Maintenance) or AR (Anti-rejection) to indicate all medications that were prescribed for the recipient during the initial transplant hospitalization period, and for what reason. If a medication was not given, leave the associated box(es) blank.
Induction (Ind) immunosuppression includes all medications given for a short finite period in the perioperative period for the purpose of preventing acute rejection. Though the drugs may be continued after discharge for the first 30 days after transplant, it will not be used long-term for immunosuppressive maintenance. Induction agents are usually polyclonal, monoclonal, or IL-2 receptor antibodies (example: methylprednisolone, Campath, Thymoglobulin, or Simulect). Some of these drugs might be used for another finite period for rejection therapy and would be recorded as anti-rejection therapy if used for this reason. For each induction medication indicated, write the total number of days the drug was actually administered in the space provided. For example, if Simulect was given in 2 doses a week apart then the total number of days would be 2, even if the second dose was given after the patient was discharged.
Maintenance (Maint) includes all immunosuppressive medications given before, during or after transplant with the intention to maintain them long-term (example: prednisone, cyclosporine, tacrolimus, mycophenolate mofetil, azathioprine, or Rapamune). This does not include any immunosuppressive medications given to treat rejection episodes, or for induction.
Anti-rejection (AR) immunosuppression includes all immunosuppressive medications given for the purpose of treating an acute rejection episode during the initial post-transplant period or during a specific follow-up period, usually up to 30 days after the diagnosis of acute rejection (example: methylprednisolone, or Thymoglobulin).
