Transplant Rejection
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Transplant rejection is the response of the body's defense system that recognizes the received organ or tissue as foreign and attempts to attack it, which can compromise its functioning.
Why it is closely monitored: After a transplant, follow-up seeks to detect early any sign that the organ is not functioning as expected.
Signs that are monitored: Fever, general malaise, changes in laboratory studies, or altered function of the transplanted organ may require evaluation.
Who treats it? The specialist in charge of the transplant coordinates the follow-up; in the case of organs such as the kidney, the nephrologist takes part, along with the internist. Any unusual symptom after a transplant should be discussed immediately with the medical team.

Which specialist treats transplant rejection?
Transplant rejection should be evaluated by a nephrologist if it involves a kidney transplant; an internal medicine physician can provide general follow-up, and a pediatric nephrologist or pediatrician can manage cases in children. See a doctor right away if you notice decreased urine output, fever, or pain near the graft site.
