@pghphase5: Kidney rejection is one of the most important aspects of transplantation, and prevention begins with a careful match between the donor and the recipient. A donor kidney may not be suitable when the recipient has developed antibodies that react against the donor’s tissue. These antibodies can form after previous blood transfusions, pregnancies, or earlier transplants, and may cause the body to attack the new kidney. For this reason, every transplant candidate undergoes thorough antibody testing and crossmatching before surgery. Patients are also advised to avoid unnecessary blood transfusions, as these can increase antibody levels and make it more difficult to find a compatible donor kidney. Dr. Taqi T Khan, Consultant Kidney Transplant Surgeon, explains how antibodies and blood transfusions can affect kidney transplantation. To consult with Dr. Taqi T Khan or for any queries regarding kidney transplantation, please contact our Kidney Transplant Unit at +92 330-666-1091. #KidneyTransplant #KidneyFailure #renaltransplant #TransplantSurgeon #PeshawarGeneralHospital
