📖About Immunosuppression Management
Immunosuppression management is the ongoing medical care of organ transplant recipients through carefully dosed medications that prevent the immune system from rejecting the transplanted organ. It requires a delicate balance, since too little medication risks organ rejection while too much increases susceptibility to infections and other side effects. Blood levels of key drugs like tacrolimus or cyclosporine are regularly monitored and doses adjusted accordingly. This lifelong management is essential to the long-term success of any organ transplant.
