Immunosuppression Management

Immunosuppression management refers to controlling the immune system's response, often necessary for patients who have undergone organ transplants or are treated for autoimmune diseases. This involves using medications that lower the immune response to prevent rejection of the transplant or reduce inflammation in autoimmune conditions. While effective, these medications can increase vulnerability to infections. Therefore, healthcare providers carefully monitor patients, adjusting medications as needed, and educating them on hygiene and infection prevention to balance their health needs while minimizing risks. Regular follow-ups ensure optimal management of immune function.
