Can a transplant recipient be a organ/tissue/blood donor?
Hi all- I was diagnosed VSAA June 1997 and was transfusion dependent, and tx with cyclosporine, Bactrim, nupogen until Oct when I recieved a Bone marrow transplant from my sister after high dose Cytoxan conditioning. My question is am I a candidate for organ and tissue donation? I was told early into my recovery that my high number of exposures to antibodies from the number of blood products I've recieved (68 units of products) I couldn't donate blood myself- but I am now going to be 14 years post transplant and with all advancements in medical science I am now wondering if I can at least be a organ/tissue/eye donor upon my passing?
