These health issues may include: Organ rejection: the body’s immune system rejecting the new kidney, despite taking medications as recommended by a doctor. Infections: anti-rejection drugs make one more vulnerable to various infections. Side effects of the medication might lead to increased risks of developing high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol levels, and some types of cancer.
