transplant eligibility

Transplant eligibility depends on factors like overall health, the severity of the illness, and whether the body can safely receive and recover from a new organ. Doctors evaluate if the patient has a manageable medical condition, no serious infections or cancers, and can adhere to the strict post-surgery plan. They also check if the patient is a good match for the donor organ to reduce rejection risk. Eligibility involves thorough medical assessments, psychological evaluations, and sometimes consideration of social support systems to ensure the patient can handle the transplant process and care requirements afterward.
