What is "rejection"?
Rejection refers to the body's immune system attacking a transplanted organ or tissue because it recognizes it as foreign. This can happen after organ transplants, like a kidney or heart, where the immune system tries to destroy the new organ. To prevent rejection, patients often take medications that control and lessen the immune response and help the body accept the transplant.
