Hi, @tabuc. Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Am I correct that you are a patient who is wondering abput the age limit to receive a liver transplant?
Yes, age does play a role in transplantation because one has to be able to undergo the complex surgery and recovery. In order to be eligible for transplant, one must first undergo a complete evaluation process that is managed by the transplant team to determing whether a patient is healthy ebnough to undergo surgery. Sometimes there might be some medical conditions that need to be corrected prior to being approved.
@tabuc, the best place for you to find the answer about age, is going to be to talk to someone at the transplant center wherr you are planning to receive your transplant. Some centers have different age requirements. Have you been referred to a transplant center, yet?
