Immune System Management Post-Transplant

Immune system management after a transplant is crucial to prevent the body from rejecting the new organ. Patients take immunosuppressant medications to weaken their immune response, allowing the new organ to function without attack. It's important to follow medical advice closely, as these medications can increase susceptibility to infections. Regular check-ups help monitor the organ's health and adjust medication dosages. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, such as proper nutrition and avoiding germs, supports recovery. Overall, careful management helps ensure the transplant's success and the patient's well-being.
