Lung Rejection Prevention

Lung rejection prevention refers to the strategies used to ensure that a transplanted lung is accepted by the recipient's body. When a person receives a lung transplant, their immune system may identify the new lung as foreign and attack it, leading to rejection. To prevent this, doctors prescribe immunosuppressive medications that help dampen the immune response. Regular monitoring for signs of rejection, maintaining good overall health, and following medical advice are also essential. By effectively managing these factors, the chances of a successful lung transplant and a healthy recovery are significantly improved.
