Can an 80 year old get a transplant? Eligibility is Based on Health, Not Age

Did you know that there is no standard age limit for receiving an organ transplant? According to the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS), eligibility for a transplant is based on a comprehensive medical evaluation of a patient's overall health, not just their chronological age. This means that yes, an 80 year old can get a transplant, provided they meet the necessary health criteria.
