Organ Transplant
Organ Transplant
Organ transplant refers to the surgical removal of a defective organ from a patient and its replacement with a healthy organ from a donor. Among the organs that may be successfully transplanted are the lungs, pancreas, and corneas, but the most common transplants are for kidneys, livers, and hearts. More than 30,000 organ transplants are performed each year in the United States.
There is a risk that transplanted organs will be rejected by the body's immune system. Consequently, most transplant patients will be prescribed immunosuppressant drugs to increase the likelihood the organ will be successfully assimilated into the body.
Drug classes commonly used to improve the success rate of organ transplants are selective immunosuppressants, other specific antirheumatics, protein kinase inhibitors, calcineurin inhibitors, systemic corticosteroids, plain, and fibrinolytics.
