transplant biopsy

A transplant biopsy is a small procedure where a doctor removes a tiny sample of tissue from a transplanted organ, such as a kidney or liver. This sample is examined under a microscope to check for signs of rejection or damage, helping doctors assess if the transplant is healthy or if adjustments to treatment are needed. The process involves a needle guided by imaging techniques, typically causing minimal discomfort. It provides valuable information to ensure the transplanted organ continues to function well and guides ongoing care.
