I just had my transplant because of exception points due to a tumor. But I never heard of one for hypertension. You need to be in contact with your team about it. Only they will be able to tell you what your score is according the transplant gods.

I don't have regular hypertension, I have portal hypertension which is the build up of pressure in the veins in the liver and the veins that bring blood to/from the liver. I also have a low platelet count. It has ranged from the 40's to 60's recently meaning I don't clot easily and have random bruising happening even without impact to the skin. I right now have a large bruise not healed where an IV was placed on February 2 for an inpatient visit.
