What is the maximum age to be put on a kidney transplant list?

There is no absolute maximum age limit for being placed on a kidney transplant list, as the decision is based on individual factors such as overall health, medical condition, and life expectancy. However, most transplant centers do have age criteria, which vary from center to center. In general, the upper age limit for kidney transplantation is around 70-80 years old. This is because older recipients may have a higher risk of complications and may not tolerate the immunosuppressive medications required to prevent rejection as well as younger recipients.
