Eligibility requirements after an organ or tissue transplant/graft vary. You must wait 12 months after receiving any type of tissue transplant from another person before becoming eligible to donate.
If you ever received a dura mater (brain covering) transplant, you are not eligible to donate. This requirement is related to concerns about the brain disease, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD).
If you received a tissue graft from one area of your body to another, you are eligible once you have fully recovered.
If you have questions about your eligibility, please call Blood bank to speak
