Question

What measure must a transplant patient often take throughout life to prevent graft rejection?

विकल्प

• Regular vaccinations

• Avoidance of all infections

• Continuous intake of immunosuppressants

• Complete isolation from the environment

Answer 1

Even after tissue matching and blood group matching, patients who receive a graft may have to take immunosuppressants throughout life. These drugs suppress the cell-mediated immune response to prevent the body's T-lymphocytes from attacking and rejecting the transplanted tissue as non-self.
