Rejection by the immune system
|
Detailed explanation-1: -Minor infections, such as urinary tract infections (UTIs), colds and flu, are common after kidney transplants. You can also get more serious infections, such as pneumonia and cytomegalovirus (CMV), which may require hospital treatment.
Detailed explanation-2: -Rejection is your body’s response to the transplanted kidney’s foreign proteins. Rejection happens when your immune system, which protects your body from germs and foreign proteins, tries to fight your new kidney. Immunosuppressant medicines help keep your body from fighting your new kidney and rejecting it.
Detailed explanation-3: -When a patient receives an organ transplant, the immune system often identifies the donor organ as “foreign” and targets it with T cells and antibodies made by B cells. Over time, these T cells and antibodies damage the organ, and may cause reduced organ function or organ failure. This is known as organ rejection.
Detailed explanation-4: -Fever over 100 degrees. Other flu-like symptoms, such as chills, headache, body aches, fatigue or dizziness. Pain or tenderness over the site of the transplanted kidney. Sudden weight gain or swelling of hands, feet, legs or eyelids. Difficulty breathing. More items
