Organ Transplant Rejection

Category: Critical Care & Surgery / Immunological Complications

Organ transplant rejection occurs when the recipient's immune system recognizes the transplanted organ as foreign and mounts an immune response against it, potentially leading to organ damage and failure.

Global Prevalence

Varies by organ and immunosuppression regimen; approximately 10-30% for acute rejection in the first year post-transplant (Source: American Journal of Transplantation, 2020).
