why do successful transplants fail

881 views

If someone has a successful lung/ kidney transplant, they are expected to fail after 5-10 years even if they take care of their bodies.
Why? Is there anything that can be done to increase this?

Your body knows (most of the time) what is you and what is not. It tries to defend you from things in you that are not you. Transplants are a constant fight between you and the part you want to be a new part of you. But it is a fight you cannot win in the long run.
