PY - 2014 T2 - Anesthesiology Core Review: Part One Basic Exam AB - Patients who receive organ transplants from a donor who is genetically different must receive immunosuppressive drug therapy to prevent or treat rejection of the transplanted organ. These agents dampen the immune response triggered by the foreign antigen. Graft rejection reactions are classified according to the time course after transplantation: within the first 24 hours (hyperacute), in the first few weeks (acute), or months to years later (chronic).
