What can cause rejection of a tissue graft in the body?
A tissue graft can be rejected by the body if the immune system recognizes it as foreign and attacks it. This immune response can be triggered by differences in genetic markers between the donor and recipient, leading to rejection. Inadequate matching of the donor tissue with the recipient can also contribute to rejection reactions.
Can organ transplants gone wrong?
They can. Without the donor organ being fully connected into the patient's body, there is no way to know if it's going to work or not. Obviously, the previous organ has (usually) been removed by this point (exception being in kidney transplants, or "piggy back" transplants), so if the new organ does not work, you're slightly stuck... If the organ has had a long time from being harvested from the donor to going into the patient, the odds of it not working become higher. Also, the experience of you surgeon does influence whether an organ transplant works or not (however inexperienced surgeons are not allowed to operate without the guidance of a more experienced surgeon). Also, 'organ rejection' can cause transplants to fail. (But this does not equate to death of the patient - some rejection is treatable with drugs, the rest (whom drugs do not work for) require a re-transplant).
What are killer asteroids?
Killer asteroids, also known as potentially hazardous asteroids (PHAs), are space rocks that have the potential to collide with the Earth and cause significant damage or even mass extinction. These asteroids are typically larger than 1 kilometer in diameter and follow orbits that bring them close to our planet. However, the term "killer asteroids" is used more in popular culture rather than the scientific community.
Why is it called the killer quake?
The term "killer quake" is used to describe earthquakes that cause significant loss of life and destruction due to their intensity, magnitude, or location. These quakes result in numerous casualties and widespread devastation, earning them the label of "killer quakes" in media and literature.
What can happen if your nephrons go bad?
If your nephrons go bad, it can lead to kidney dysfunction or failure. This can result in a build-up of waste and fluid in the body, which can cause symptoms like fatigue, swelling, and difficulty concentrating. Treatment may involve medications, dialysis, or a kidney transplant.
Why do killer cells cause rejection of an organ transplant?
Killer cells, specifically cytotoxic T cells, can cause rejection of an organ transplant because they recognize the transplanted tissue as foreign due to differences in major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules. When T cells identify these foreign antigens, they become activated and initiate an immune response, leading to the destruction of the transplanted cells. This rejection process is a natural defense mechanism of the immune system to protect the body from perceived threats. Immunosuppressive medications are often used to mitigate this response and promote transplant acceptance.
What treatment with certain drugs to reduce transplant rejection can cause?
immunosupression
Can treatment with certain drugs to reduce transplant rejection cause immunosuppression?
Yes
How could an antibody cause a problem in a transplant?
Antibodies can cause rejection of the donor organ/ tissue within minutes if the person receiving the organ already had antibodies against the donor. Rejection of donated blood involves antibodies which form the basis of the immune response triggered by the donation. Rejection of a donated kindey or heart involves both antibodies and cell mediated immunity.
How might organs transplants which are meant to save a person life endanger the person?
An organ transplant can cause tissue rejection, where the patient's immune system tries to destroy the transplanted organ, because the foreign organ is mistaken for pathogens.
Are you against or for organ transplant?
are you against or for organ transplant cause i wanna know its for a science project
What are the problems with transplants?
This is a wide open question. The first area to be concerned with after a transplant is Rejection. This is where the body will fight the transplanted organ as a foreign object and attack it to destroy it. Medications are given to help your body accept this foreign object. Once rejection is controlled, Side effects from all the medications that you are required to take after transplant can cause mood changes, Liver and kidney irritations, skin growths, Cancer, Bone lose and many more. The trade off is much better though---You are alive and productive.
What are the emotional wounds cause by rejection?
Emotional wounds that are caused by rejection can linger for years, causing stress and heartache.
What disease may cause the sufferer to need a heart transplant?
heart disease
What are the main enemies for killer whales?
A killer whales predator is a human cause they hunt them for blubber
Can dejection cause rejection and vice verse?
You didn't answer my original question. (Pardon the misspelling)...
What can attack a killer whale?
killer whales are at the top of the food chain only humans can kill killer whales cause we have weapons like guns and things like that
