If a dialyis patient contacts MRSA- methicyllin resistant staphlococcus aureus, once they have been treated for it, and no opeining on skin, can they be considered for the list for kidney transplant, or would this disqualify them to receive a kidney.
thanks

$ In reality, it will not be a 100% turn down ratio. The ones who are turned down are those who have experiences a radical change, creating a higher percentage possibility for transplant rejection. This falls into the catigory of ethics.

If it was treated with success, I know of no reason this would limit them in anyway for a Kidney transplant. However to make sure, you can call the dialysis center and ask a qualified health professional, doctor or nurse and get a defendant answer.

I cannot see why it would. As long as they have been treated for MRSA and it's under control there really is no problem with them being on the list. The only problem will come if they are a match for a kidney and they are not strong enough for the surgery
