Lung Transplant Rejection

Types of transplant
Transplants are one of the most miraculous achievements of modern medicine. They involve the donation of organs from one person to another and allow thousands of people to take a new lease of life around the world each year.
Indeed, transplants are the best treatment possible for most people with organ failure. Kidney transplants are most commonly practiced. However, as advances in medicine, heart transplants, liver and lungs are also regularly performed today. However, this process continues to suffer as the shortage of available organs.

There are several types of transplants, for example, autograft, allograft, and xenograft Isograft (xenotransplants). Autologous transplantation of tissues is the same person and is Isoograft transplantation of organs or tissue from a donor to a recipient as genetically identical twins. In addition, xenograft is a transplant of organs or tissue from one species to another. The last type of transplant that I will focus on the allograft is, who is a transplanted organ or tissue between two genetically nonidentical members of the same species. Most human tissue and organ transplants are allografts.

However, the medical problem of which the beneficiary will suffer is that the recipient's immune system will identify the body as foreign and try to destroy it, what causes this so-called graft rejection and to avoid this, the receiver of body must take immunosuppressive drugs. This greatly affects the entire immune system, making the body vulnerable to pathogens and is obviously the effect of transplantation medicine on the recipient. Other emotional effects can occur as sexual difficulties, feelings of guilt, feelings of gratitude, uselessness and debt. In addition, a recent study shows that recipients are most likely to undergo a period of depression. In addition, the psychological effects on the donor's family are not really obvious, but it can be painful especially in rare cases, on the other hand, some families feel pride and joy for the soul of someone .

To summarize, the life-saving transplants for people and no body should plead cons especially when the donor continues to live after the operation. And it is an ideal way to get the satisfaction of God.
