transplant medicine

Transplant medicine is a medical specialty focused on replacing damaged or diseased organs and tissues with healthy ones from donors. This can include organs like kidneys, hearts, and livers, as well as tissues like skin and bone. Transplantation helps restore function and improve the quality of life for patients with severe health issues. The process involves careful matching of donors and recipients to reduce the risk of rejection, where the recipient's body attacks the new organ. Doctors also use immunosuppressive medications to help prevent rejection and ensure the transplantation is successful.
