Does age matter for liver transplant evaluation?

Aling these lines, at my 11th transplant evaluation last year, my team told me not to expect another transplant if anything happened. I feel this is fair to give someone else a chance. Also makes you more aware of taking care of yourself.

@jerrynord You have mentioned before that you are 80. That probably is a reasonable cut-off date, although many people after age 80 are in remarkable health, as is my husband who will be 85 in July. I went to a doctor's appointment with him when he was seeing a new doctor who I had been to. The doctor was amazed at how good my husband looked and also that he takes no medications whatsoever, just occasional ibuprofen.
I tell my husband I married him for his longevity genes, since very few of my relatives in the past generation have made it as far as 70.

Hi @jerrynord 😊
Happy to meet you. When your team told you not to expect another transplant, what brought up that conversation? Are you starting to show signs of a problem?
