Immune Tolerance Induction in Kidney Transplantation

Immune tolerance induction in kidney transplantation is a process aimed at preventing the recipient's immune system from rejecting the new kidney. Instead of using long-term medications that suppress the immune system, this approach trains the body to accept the transplanted kidney as its own. Techniques may include the use of special cells or therapies that encourage the immune system to recognize the kidney without attacking it. Achieving immune tolerance can lead to better outcomes, fewer side effects, and improved quality of life for transplant recipients, as their body's defenses remain more balanced.
