Immunosuppression in Pancreatic Transplant

Immunosuppression in pancreatic transplant refers to the use of medications to prevent the body’s immune system from rejecting the new organ. After transplantation, the immune system recognizes the pancreas as foreign and may attack it. Immunosuppressive drugs help keep the immune response in check, allowing the body to accept the transplant. While these medications are crucial for the success of the transplant, they can increase the risk of infections and other complications, as they lower the body’s ability to fight off diseases. Regular monitoring and careful management are essential for the health of transplant recipients.
