New Test Identifies Heart Transplant Rejection
The test monitors the genetic activity of a transplant recipient's white blood cells, the immune system's primary defense against viruses, bacteria and other germs, the FDA said in a news release.
Rejection occurs when a transplant recipient's body begins attacking the new organ as a foreign entity. A successful transplant is achieved when the body's immune response is suppressed enough to accept the new organ but is strong enough to continue warding off infection, the agency said.
Half of all rejections occur in the first six weeks after transplant, and about one-quarter of recipients have evidence of rejection within the first year, according to government data cited by the agency.
