What are the Causes of Chronic Rejection in Neonates?
Chronic rejection in neonates can be attributed to various factors:
- Immune Response: The primary cause is the neonate's immune system recognizing the transplanted organ as foreign and continually attacking it. - Genetic Factors: Certain genetic predispositions may increase the likelihood of chronic rejection. - Infections: Secondary infections can exacerbate immune responses, leading to chronic rejection. - Medication Non-compliance: Inconsistent administration of immunosuppressive medications can heighten the risk.
