Organ or Tissue Rejection treatment in Benito Juárez

Rejection of an organ or tissue occurs when, after a transplant, the immune system recognizes the received organ as foreign and tries to attack it. It is one of the situations closely monitored after any transplant.

Warning signs: They may include fever, general malaise, decreased function of the transplanted organ, or discomfort in the area where it is located.

When to seek care? Any unusual change after a transplant, such as fever or a reduction in the organ's functioning, warrants a prompt evaluation.

Who provides follow-up? The transplant team usually includes the general surgeon and, depending on the organ, the nephrologist or other specialists who monitor the progression. If you have received a transplant and notice symptoms different from usual, communicating it immediately to your medical team is the most appropriate thing to do.
