Transplantation Therapy

Transplantation therapy involves replacing a diseased or damaged organ or tissue in the body with a healthy one from a donor. It's commonly used to treat conditions like kidney failure, heart disease, or liver damage. The goal is to restore normal function and improve quality of life. The process includes matching the donor and recipient to reduce rejection risk, followed by surgery, and often ongoing medication to prevent the body from rejecting the new organ. Advances in immunosuppressive drugs have significantly increased transplant success rates, making it a viable option for many patients with severe organ failure.
