Abstract

Organ transplantation is the best method for replacing damage organs and tissues. It has very long history but frequently work on it start in 18th century. Now researchers are able to perform transplant easily and successfully. Take organ from donor that may be living or deceased. But the problem that matters a lot is that donor compatibility must be matched with the recipient. And the match occurs in very rare chances because perfect match found in identical twins. Rejection is a major problem for organ transplantation, but researchers control this problem by using specific type of drug name immunosuppressant that suppresses the immune response. Long term uses of immune suppressant also cause many diseases like diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure etc.
