Liver transplant failure and rejection - what does this mean
Liver transplant failure and rejection occur when the transplanted liver is rejected by the recipient's body, either due to a mismatch between the donor and recipient, or due to the body's immune system attacking the new organ. this can lead to inflammation, organ damage, and in some cases, death.
What happens during the disease - liver transplant failure and rejection
The pathogenesis of liver transplant failure and rejection is complex and multifaceted. generally, the body's immune system recognizes the transplanted organ as foreign and attacks it, causing inflammation and tissue damage. this can be caused by a mismatch between the donor and recipient, a lack of immunosuppressive medications, or an infection. additionally, the new organ may be damaged due to inadequate blood supply or a technical error during the transplant procedure. ultimately, these processes lead to rejection of the transplanted organ.
Liver transplant failure and rejection - Prevention
The best way to prevent liver transplant failure and rejection is to ensure that the donor and recipient have compatible blood types, that the donor is healthy and free from any diseases, that the transplant is performed by a skilled and experienced surgeon, and that the recipient follows a strict post-operative care plan and takes all prescribed medications.
