What Are The Eligibility And Recovery Period Of A Kidney Donor?

Sir'
I'm a 58 yrs. old man having 5'4" and 63kgs. I would like to donate my kidney and liver. So far, by HIS grace, I'm healthy. No sugar, no pressure. Only complaint is that I'm a chronic allergic for cold. I'll take inhaler for Asthma maximum once in a month. Am i eligible for that. If so how long to recover to lead a normal life? Is both can be done at a stretch? Is my age is a hindrance for the receiver?
Kindly answer me.
Thank You

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Your age is not suitable for a donor as the age advances the chances for rejection will be more and whole procedure will be spoiled. The criteria may vary from country to country and you can enquire about the rules in your country.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
