Houston-based Memorial Hermann Health Systems halted a kidney transplant program days after abruptly announcing they also stopped liver transplants, hospital officials said Tuesday. The liver transplant program was announced inactivate on April 5 because of a “pattern of irregularities with donor acceptance criteria” within the United Network for Organ Sharing transplant information database for patients. The criteria irregularities were limited to the liver transplant program but the kidney program was also halted because of a “shared leadership structure,” according to a statement provided to Houston Public Media. The hospital is working with impacted patients and families from both the liver and the kidney transplant programs to ensure they have the care and support that they need, officials said.
