128 Over 90 Too High a Bp For 28m Donor? Posted: 08-16-07 21:09pm
I am trying to be a donor for kidney
transplant. Ive successfully passed every
evaluation examination but they keep
telling me that my blood pressure is of
"concern". Doctors say I am healthy and
fit, but don't know why my bp is 128/90.
Is this too high? What might be the
maximum bp a 25/m/6'/170# should have?
Might they feel the need to reject me as a
donor for such a bp reading?

I think it is just the lower number they
are worried about. I think that normal is
usually 120/70 but most people aren't that
low. It depends on the person. I am a
diabetic with kidney disease and mine
averages 130/80. It will go up and down.
Did they do more than one bp reading? Was
this the average? Good luck. I hope
things work out. Sorry I am not more
help. Hopefully someone else has more
experience in this area.
