Allograft Function

Allograft function refers to how well a transplanted organ or tissue (like a kidney, liver, or heart) is working after surgery. The goal is for the graft to perform its normal duties—such as filtering blood or producing vital substances—without rejection or failure. Proper allograft function indicates that the recipient’s immune system has accepted the transplant, and the organ is healthy and effective. Doctors monitor its function through tests, imaging, and clinical signs to ensure the transplant continues to improve or maintain the recipient’s health, and to detect any issues early.
