transplant and rheumatoid arthritis

[Rshc]

partner was listed then delisted as condition improved , now diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis and of course off he goes a googling and finds some random site in the US that says you cannot have a transplant with autoimmune disease such as RA. Of course we hope he never needs a transplant but we need to be realistic and he may do. Does anyone know the facts regarding this please

Thanks

They transplant folks who have auto immune liver disease / many of whom have multiple AI conditions so it's absolutely not true that they don't transplant people with auto immune illnesses.

Thanks, there is a lesson in here somewhere about Dr Google!

I have RA and my transplant happened on the 23/3/23 so you can have a transplant with RA , definitely 👍. Good luck
