Immune modification and complications of immunosuppression.
For transplant recipients, immunosuppression is necessary to prevent rejection. The type of immunosuppression varies according to the patient and institution; however, most patients receive double or triple drug regimens. Thus, thorough nursing assessment and intervention are essential throughout the transplant period. Research in this area continues, leading to a promising future for transplantation.
