transplantation eligibility

Transplant eligibility involves assessing whether a person’s health status, medical history, and current condition make them suitable for receiving an organ. Key factors include overall health, the ability to recover and follow post-surgery care, absence of severe infections or other serious illnesses, and commitment to ongoing treatment. Compatibility between donor and recipient, such as blood and tissue types, is also essential. Physicians evaluate these aspects through tests and discussions to ensure the transplant will be safe and effective, aiming to improve quality of life while minimizing risks.
