Immunosupression is a complication of organ transplantation is the need to match the tissue types of both the donar and the recipient. Even if the tissue is matched as closely as possible the recipients body may still try to reject the transplanted organ because it sees it as foreign. in order to prevent the rejection of the transplanted organ, the bodys immune system must be suppressed.
