Immuno suppressive drugs

Yes. But patients using immunosuppressive drugs can react differently. Among the higher risk of infection, multiple side effects can appear, such as: high blood pressure, enhanced bloodsugerlevel, renal failure, nausea, sickness, swelling of the face, night sweat, etc. And it's even more likely, that patients under immunosuppressive treatment are developing cancer.

Thanks to the further development of immunosuppressive drugs, the side effects are constantly decreasing.

Despite the obligatory immunosuppression, the quality of life of a transplanted person is far better, than without beeing transplanted.
