Organ transplantation

Organ transplantation is a surgical procedure that involves transferring an organ from a donor to a recipient to replace a failing or damaged organ. This intervention is crucial in treating end-stage organ failure, significantly improving survival rates and quality of life for patients. A key complication associated with organ transplantation is rejection, where the recipient's immune system attacks the transplanted organ, necessitating lifelong immunosuppressive therapy to mitigate this risk.
