Guidelines for lung transplant rejection management

Managing lung transplant rejection involves close monitoring, medications, and regular tests to detect immune responses harmful to the new lung. Doctors may adjust immunosuppressive drugs to prevent or treat rejection, balancing infection risk. Symptoms like cough, shortness of breath, or fever are carefully evaluated. In some cases, additional therapies like high-dose steroids might be used. Ongoing follow-up ensures early detection and effective management, helping to protect the transplanted lung and improve long-term success.
