Is It Safe To Transplant Kidney From Dead Person?

I'm 64 yeas old on home peritoneal dialysis. I'm on the kidney transplant list. Because of my age I'm getting older kidney, which i will get the kidney faster. At the moment my energy is low and the faster i get it the better for me i was told. The kidney will be from a dead person. Is there any chance that this people died from censer. Should I go on the internet and ask if anyone is interested donating a kidney. I heard some people have done this. Is this wise to do.
Thanks

Hello,

Thanks for choosing HCM. Dont worry about that ofcourse you can have a cadaver kidney of old age person. If there is anything that wrong about the patient then even doctors wont transplant that kidney they will have the complete history of the dead person so rather going for other option you please carryon with the cadaver kidney and mostly you wont have any other issues except the acceptance of your body to take that kidney.

Thanks
