Immunosuppression Therapy

Immunosuppression therapy is a medical treatment that reduces the activity of the immune system. It is commonly used for patients who have received organ transplants, to prevent the body from rejecting the new organ. Additionally, it helps manage autoimmune diseases, where the immune system mistakenly attacks the body’s own tissues. By dampening immune responses, these therapies can increase the risk of infections and other complications, so careful monitoring and management are essential. The therapy can involve medications that specifically inhibit immune cell function or signaling pathways.
