Detailed explanation-1: -After an organ transplant, you will need to take immunosuppressant (anti-rejection ) drugs. These drugs help prevent your immune system from attacking ("rejecting") the donor organ. Typically, they must be taken for the lifetime of your transplanted organ.
Detailed explanation-2: -Patients must also take immunosuppressive drugs for the rest of their lives to keep the immune system from attacking transplanted organs. But these drugs can make it hard to fight off infections. The drugs may also boost the risk for diabetes, cancer and other conditions.
Detailed explanation-3: -Prolonged corticosteroid and calcineurin inhibitor use contribute to increased cardiovascular morbidity (e.g., hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and hyperglycemia) and mortality.
Detailed explanation-4: -Alternatively, stopping these drug therapies may result in negative outcomes such as disease relapse, drug desensitization, bowel damage and need for surgery.
