Question: Hi. I will turn 70 in February,2016. Are there any organs I can donate while I'm still alive, and how about my A- blood ?
Brief Answer:
blood donation is OK
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care questions
At your age you can still give blood without concerns. Also as long as you are healthy you can still donate other organs including kidneys. The organ transplant teams are accepting organs in good condition from donors in their 70s.
I hope I answered your question. Please contact us again if you have any further questions.
