I want to donate

[bgp818489]

  I am seriously considering becoming a donor but have medical questions  considering donors capabilities. I consider myself in good health, but have had issues in the past. I had by-pass surgery 2 years ago, and keep my blood pressure in check with medications. Would these things preclude me from becoming a donor? I am 59 years of age, never involved with drugs and do not smoke. I am O+

Best wishes. The only way to find out is to contact a transplant center and get started. If you're deferred, ask why, then be up front about your deferral at that center if you choose to persist and seek a different center, potentially with different criteria for acceptance. Please consider letting us know what you learn. Take care.

Your cardiac history is an absolute contraindication to living donation. It is doubtful that any program would violate current guidelines to let you donate.
