1 - -Unless the donor and recipient are identical twins, immunosuppressants are taken to minimize the immune response to reject the transplanted organ. The patient will need to check weight on a regular basis. The patient should contact the physician with any decreases in urine output. The patient should also avoid individuals who have colds or the flu.
