Additional Eligibility Criteria

° There are no age restrictions for donation. The oldest organ donor in Nebraska was 79.

° There are few medical restrictions: patients with hepatitis, drug abuse history, or even some cancers may still be eligible to donate.

° NORS staff will determine medical suitability upon referral of the patient.

° Organ function is important! Organs must be functioning properly in order to be transplanted as this will have a large effect on survivability.
