Abstract

The aim of this work is to review the most and new aspects of organ and tissue transplantation especially those related to the pathology and immunology of transplantation and graft rejection.
Organ transplantations are now considered to be the standard therapeutic interventions in patients with end-stage organ failure as that of renal, liver, heart and lung. Due to shortage of organs, up to 10% to 15% of patients die without receiving an organ. Many patients also are not candidates for transplantation due to comorbid illness. In addition, some patients receive a transplant but succumb to complications of the transplant itself. Such patients and families face the conundrum of a potentially treatable yet often fatal illness (Larson and Curtis 2006).
