Hello , has anyone been denied a kidney transplant because they were underweight ?

Thanks!

Hi! I received my transplant 6 months ago. Before surgery i weighted 105-107 pounds and i’m 5”5 so i was considered underweight with a BMI of 17,5. And i was still listed and received my transplant at that weight. I’ve since gained 15 pounds so i’m back to my normal weight (before being sick). Hope this helps.
