Transplant rejection diagnosis and treatment refers to the clinical practices used to detect, characterize, and manage the immune response that occurs when a recipient's body recognizes a transplanted organ or tissue as foreign and attacks it. Rejection can be hyperacute, acute, or chronic, and may threaten the function and survival of the graft. Diagnosis combines monitoring of organ function, imaging, laboratory biomarkers, and tissue biopsy, which remains a key tool for confirming and grading rejection. Treatment centers on immunosuppressive medications that dampen the immune response, with regimens tailored to the type and severity of rejection and balanced against risks of infection and drug toxicity. Within the Organ Transplantation scope of this journal, related peer-reviewed work has examined approaches relevant to monitoring and managing transplant recipients, including the comparison of Doppler ultrasonography with biopsy for evaluating post-transplant complications and kidney function, single-nucleotide polymorphism profiling to personalize immunosuppressive therapy in acute renal rejection, and factors affecting graft function after kidney transplantation. These contributions reflect the journal's focus on transplantation medicine and graft outcomes. This page serves as a reference entry on the diagnosis and treatment of transplant rejection within the broader study of Organ Transplantation.
