Brief Answer:
Yes for transplantation

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

I have seen the attached reports. Yes, she is eligible for renal transplant. There is no problem in being not a resident of that locality. HLA matching is done and a suitable kidney will be transplanted.

Formalities differ from hospital to hospital. You may have to enquire bout the same in hospital of your choice.

Hope, I answered your doubt.

Please do ask if any doubts.

Brief Answer:
HLA mathcing

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Sorry for the delay in my response.

Yes, eligibility criteria of a person for the cadaveric or live donor remains the same. Its the HLA matching which determines whether we can transplant.

The matching is better with live donor, whereas life expectancy after transplant is good with cadaveric.

Hope, I cleared your doubts.
