Rejection Diagnosis

Rejection diagnosis is the process healthcare providers use to determine the reason why a transplanted organ, such as a kidney or liver, is not functioning properly. When an organ is rejected, the body's immune system may be attacking it, leading to signs of organ damage. Doctors perform tests like blood work, biopsies, and imaging to assess the organ's condition and identify if rejection is occurring and what type it might be (hyperacute, acute, or chronic). This diagnosis guides appropriate treatment to prevent or manage damage, helping to preserve the transplanted organ’s function.
