Re-transplantation

Re-transplantation refers to the medical procedure where a previously transplanted organ or tissue is replaced with another due to failure, rejection, or complications of the first transplant. This process may be necessary when the transplanted organ no longer functions properly or the recipient's immune system attacks it. Re-transplantation can occur in various types of organ transplants, such as kidneys, hearts, or lungs, and often requires careful evaluation to ensure the recipient is a suitable candidate for another transplant, including considerations of availability, health status, and immunosuppressive therapy.
