A member asked:
What signs and symptoms indicate organ transplant rejection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on the organ: In general, acute rejection of any transplanted solid organ can cause fever, chills, tiredness, weakness, and poor appetite. Each specific organ may become tender and swollen, and the function of each would diminish.
