The Transplant Recipient Registration (TRR) records are generated and available immediately after a transplant event is reported through the recipient feedback process in WaitlistSM. A TRR will also be generated in the case of a living donor transplant, where a recipient was added through the donor feedback process in Tiedi®. 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 the most recent information available regarding the recipient's progress.
The TRR record must be completed within 60 days from the record generation date. See OPTN/UNOS Policies for additional information. Use the search feature to locate specific policy information on Data Submission Requirements.
To correct information that is already displayed on an electronic record, call the UNetSM Help Desk at 1-800-978-4334.

Immunosuppressive Information
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.
Did the recipient participate in any clinical research protocol for immunosuppressive medications: If the recipient participated in clinical research for immunosuppressive medications, select Yes. If not, select No. If Yes, specify in the space provided. (These fields are optional.)
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 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 (e.g., Methylprednisolone, Atgam, Thymoglobulin, OKT3, Simulect, or Zenapax). Some of these drugs might be used for another finite period for rejection therapy and would be recorded as rejection therapy if used for this reason. For each induction medication indicated, enter the total number of days the drug was actually administered in the space provided. For example, if Simulect or Zenapax 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 for varying periods of time which may be either long-term or intermediate term with a tapering of the dosage until the drug is either eliminated or replaced by another long-term maintenance drug (e.g., Prednisone, Cyclosporine, Tacrolimus, Mycophenolate Mofetil, Azathioprine, or Rapamycin). 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 (e.g., Methylprednisolone, Atgam, OKT3, or Thymoglobulin). When switching maintenance drugs (e.g., from Tacrolimus to Cyclosporine; or from Mycophenolate Mofetil to Azathioprine) because of rejection, the drugs should not be listed under AR immunosuppression, but should be listed under maintenance immunosuppression.
Note: As further clarification, drugs that are used with the intention to maintain recipients long-term are medications such as Tacrolimus, Cyclosporine, Azathioprine, Mycophenolate Mofetil and Prednisone. These maintenance medications should not be listed as AR medications to treat acute rejection. When patients have a true acute rejection, they are given anti-rejection medication such as steroids, OKT3, ATG, Simulect and Zenapax, in addition to the maintenance medications. These are the medications that should be selected as anti-rejection.
If an immunosuppressive medication other than those listed is being administered (e.g., new monoclonal antibodies), select Ind., Maint, or AR next to Other Immunosuppressive Medication field, and enter the full name of the medication in the space provided. Do not list non-immunosuppressive medications.
If the number of days is unavailable, select the appropriate status from the applicable Status field (N/A, Not Done, Missing, Unknown). (List of Status codes)
Other 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 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 (e.g., Methylprednisolone, Atgam, Thymoglobulin, OKT3, Simulect, or Zenapax). Some of these drugs might be used for another finite period for rejection therapy and would be recorded as rejection therapy if used for this reason. For each induction medication indicated, enter the total number of days the drug was actually administered in the space provided. For example, if Simulect or Zenapax 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 for varying periods of time which may be either long-term or intermediate term with a tapering of the dosage until the drug is either eliminated or replaced by another long-term maintenance drug (e.g., Prednisone, Cyclosporine, Tacrolimus, Mycophenolate Mofetil, Azathioprine, or Rapamycin). 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 (e.g., Methylprednisolone, Atgam, OKT3, or Thymoglobulin). When switching maintenance drugs (e.g., from Tacrolimus to Cyclosporine; or from Mycophenolate Mofetil to Azathioprine) because of rejection, the drugs should not be listed under AR immunosuppression, but should be listed under maintenance immunosuppression.
Note: As further clarification, drugs that are used with the intention to maintain recipients long-term are medications such as Tacrolimus, Cyclosporine, Azathioprine, Mycophenolate Mofetil and Prednisone. These maintenance medications should not be listed as AR medications to treat acute rejection. When patients have a true acute rejection, they are given anti-rejection medication such as steroids, OKT3, ATG, Simulect and Zenapax, in addition to the maintenance medications. These are the medications that should be selected as anti-rejection.
If an immunosuppressive medication other than those listed is being administered (e.g., new monoclonal antibodies), select Ind., Maint, or AR next to Other Immunosuppressive Medication field, and enter the full name of the medication in the space provided. Do not list non-immunosuppressive medications.
If the number of days is unavailable, select the appropriate status from the applicable Status field (N/A, Not Done, Missing, Unknown). (List of Status codes)
Investigational 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 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, Atgam, Thymoglobulin, OKT3, Simulect, or Zenapax). Some of these drugs might be used for another finite period for rejection therapy and would be recorded as rejection therapy if used for this reason. For each induction medication indicated, enter the total number of days the drug was actually administered in the space provided. For example, if Simulect or Zenapax 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 for varying periods of time which may be either long-term or intermediate term with a tapering of the dosage until the drug is either eliminated or replaced by another long-term maintenance drug (e.g., Prednisone, Cyclosporine, Tacrolimus, Mycophenolate Mofetil, Azathioprine, or Rapamycin). 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, Atgam, OKT3, or Thymoglobulin). When switching maintenance drugs (example: from Tacrolimus to Cyclosporine; or from Mycophenolate Mofetil to Azathioprine) because of rejection, the drugs should not be listed under AR immunosuppression, but should be listed under maintenance immunosuppression.
Note: As further clarification, drugs that are used with the intention to maintain recipients long-term are medications such as Tacrolimus, Cyclosporine, Azathioprine, Mycophenolate Mofetil and Prednisone. These maintenance medications should not be listed as AR medications to treat acute rejection. When patients have a true acute rejection, they are given anti-rejection medication such as steroids, OKT3, ATG, Simulect and Zenapax, in addition to the maintenance medications. These are the medications that should be selected as anti-rejection.
If an immunosuppressive medication other than those listed is being administered (e.g., new monoclonal antibodies), select Ind., Maint, or AR next to Other Immunosuppressive Medication field, and enter the full name of the medication in the space provided. Do not list non-immunosuppressive medications.
