What are immunosuppressants and Uses of Immunosuppressants
A kidney transplant is the best treatment for most patients
with end-stage renal illness, and it has been linked to considerable
improvements in quality of life and survival in patients who have had
successful kidney transplants. Because patient and graft survival rates for
living and deceased donor kidney recipients are already greater than 95% one
year after transplantation, there will be a substantial number of successful
recipients requiring long-term care and chronic immunosuppression.
Immunosuppressive medications must be administered before,
during, and after any type of organ transplant. Primary care physicians,
internists, and the general public will need basic awareness regarding
immunosuppression and the medical management of these patients as they become
more involved in this type of care. Here are a few things you should be aware
of when it comes to immunosuppressants.

What are
immunosuppressants?
Immunosuppressants are pharmaceuticals or medicines that
weaken or suppress the immune system, making it less likely for the body to
reject a transplanted organ. That is, they assist in the acceptance of an organ
from another person's body. Anti-rejection medicines is another name for these
medications.
Uses of
Immunosuppressants
Immunosuppressive medicines are required for almost everyone
who has an organ transplant. A transplanted organ is recognised by the body as
a foreign mass. This prompts the body's immune system to launch an attack.
Immunosuppressant medications reduce the body's reactivity
to the foreign organ by weakening the immune system. Drugs help the
transplanted organ stay healthy and damage-free.
The idea is to tweak these medications so that they don't
cause rejection and have as little negative effects as possible.
