Organ transplantation is a complex medical procedure to replace damaged organs. Currently the organs that can be transplanted include the kidney, lung, liver, and heart. Once a matching donor has been found and a suitable organ successfully transplanted, patients must monitor the effects of immunosuppressant drugs on their health to maintain organ function, with the goal of leading full and active lives. Imagine knowing what treatments work for people just like you — and having the ability to easily connect with those people. That’s what makes PatientsLikeMe different. By sharing your symptoms, treatments and more, you can gain insight into what affects your condition while helping others learn from your experiences. Together, we can learn more.
