transplant eligibility assessments

Transplant eligibility assessments evaluate whether a person is suitable for organ transplantation by reviewing their overall health, organ function, and ability to recover. Doctors consider factors like age, medical history, underlying conditions, lifestyle, and psychosocial stability. They also check for infections or other issues that could affect the success of the transplant. The goal is to ensure that the patient has a good chance of benefiting from the transplant and that the risks are manageable. The process involves detailed medical tests and discussions to determine if transplantation is appropriate and safe for the individual.
