Medical Conditions - Transplant Rejection

Transplantation is done to replace an organ or a tissue that is not functioning correctly or replace a missing organ. Transplant acts as a foreign object in the recipient body, and the immune system of the individual will try to attack the foreign body. Hence the recipient has to take immunosuppressants to prevent rejection of the transplanted organ. Transplant rejection usually takes place when the individual does not take immunosuppressants or when the organ is mismatched. Pain or swelling in the transplant region, uneasiness, fever, nausea, etc., indicate transplant rejection.
