Immunosuppression in pediatric transplant patients. 1995

D Miller

Nurses in a variety of acute care settings are caring for children receiving transplants. Nurses caring for pediatric transplant patients need to understand the cellular components of the immune system; graft rejection and how it directs immunosuppressive therapy; and specific immunosuppressive agents with their appropriate application in the clinical setting. This knowledge provides a foundation for understanding aspects of nursing interventions as they relate to the pediatric transplant patient receiving immunosuppressive therapy.

D014181 Transplantation Immunology A general term for the complex phenomena involved in allo- and xenograft rejection by a host and graft vs host reaction.
