Depends: It depends on the type of hepatitis you have had whether or not you can donate your organs! anyone with hepatitis c would not be accepted as a suitable donor, nor anyone with chronic hepatitis b.

Yes: I would say it is possible based on many factors. These would include what type of hepatitis a patient has and how active the hepatitis is. Even more important is whay organ is to be donated.

Pts with hepatitis!: Hepatitis (at least b+c) can definitely be transmitted through organ, tissue and blood donation, so your organs shouldn't be transplanted into patients without hepatitis. But, they can be matched into pts who already have the same type of hepatitis. With a severe shortage, this strategy allows us to use excellent organs, without transmitting a new disease. Recipients must give specific consent.

Depends: It can depend on the type of hepatitis. The organs being donated, and the recepient. Even in the worst cases, corneas may still be able to be used.
