Graft Rejection
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Graft rejection is the immune system's reaction to a transplanted organ or tissue, which it recognizes as foreign and tries to attack, which can compromise the functioning of the graft.
Common causes: It occurs when the body's defenses identify the transplanted tissue as foreign; there are different forms depending on the moment it appears after the transplant.
Common symptoms: Signs may appear such as general malaise, fever, inflammation or pain in the graft area, and changes in the functioning of the transplanted organ.
Which specialists treat it? Follow-up involves the general surgeon and, in the case of a kidney transplant, the nephrologist. Any change after a transplant deserves to be reported promptly to the medical team for timely evaluation.
