Does a history of self injury affect your chances of getting a transplant?

What kind of injury?: I'm not a transplant expert but in a young person with more non-life threatening self-injury ong ago, probably no effect on chances. But an midage person with repeated injuries especially life-threatening behaviors, probably reduced chances. In short, if the 5 sentences that describes the transpl-candidate includes "self-injury" it will be an unspoken detriment. Just my impression. I may be wrong.
