allograft survival

Allograft survival refers to the success of a transplanted organ or tissue from one person to another. When a patient receives an allograft, their body must accept the new tissue without rejecting it. Various factors influence survival, including how well the donor and recipient’s immune systems match, the health of the transplanted tissue, and the use of immunosuppressive medications. These medications help prevent rejection but can also weaken the immune system, making the recipient more susceptible to infections. Ultimately, successful allograft survival improves the recipient’s quality of life and health.
