I'm not sure. That would be a question for a Transplant Team. Can someone call their coordinator and ask?

If you donated, you would be in the high risk category (forgot the term used by the transplant team). So if you donated your organs if you are deceased, the person the transplant team calls has to notify the potential recipient. Depending on age and how many years a person has been waiting on the list, the organ may be used. As a recipeint, I was asked if I wanted organs from(forgot term used) and I said no since I was young and have enough medical complications as it is. As a live donor though, I am not surewhat they do.

Good question tyefly. The term Chris is looking for is called extended criteria. I'm going to ask the transplant coordinator when I speak to her this week.
