What Are the Challenges in Pediatric Transplantation?

Pediatric transplantation poses unique challenges, including:
- Size and Growth Considerations: Matching donor organs to recipients is more complex due to the size and growth needs of children.
- Immunosuppression Management: Long-term use of immunosuppressive drugs is necessary to prevent organ rejection, which can increase the risk of infections and other complications.
- Psychosocial Issues: Transplantation can significantly impact a child's mental health and family dynamics, necessitating comprehensive psychosocial support.
