Organ rejection can occur after a transplant. While pre-transplant tests and post-transplant care significantly reduce rejection, the risk remains, even years after the transplant.
Yes, the body can reject artificial organs. Our immune system may recognize them as foreign and try to attack or reject them.
Yes, the body can reject artificial organs. When an artificial organ, such as an implant or a transplant, is introduced into the body, the immune system may recognize it as foreign and mount an immune response against it. This rejection reaction can lead to inflammation, tissue damage, and ultimately failure of the artificial organ. To minimize rejection, doctors may prescribe immunosuppressive medications to dampen the immune response and promote tolerance of the artificial organ. However, rejection remains a potential risk associated with artificial organs.
