Donor question

[mike22]

I may have a possible donor(im still a little skeptical). She is my younger cousin, we have the same blood type.  At first, they told her to lose weight. they wanted her between 180 and 216 pounds.  She is at 216 and wants to lose more. But there is one issue im concern about she has edema and swelling in her feet.  I guess iwant to know will she be a viable donor considering the swelling in the feet. She has no other problems.

I would guess that it depends on the cause of.the swelling and the parameters set by your transplant center...

Hopefully she will be fully evaluated and if there are any health obstacles to her donating then it's good to find out now.
