Usually: In more than 90% of the cases, acute rejection of transplanted kidney can be treated but it depends on the severity of rejection as well as how promptly the rejection is diagnosed. Mild rejection usually responds to intravenous steroids whereas severe rejections will require more potent drugs such as thymoglobulin. For antibody-mediated rejections, one needs treatment called plasmapheresis.
