    Glossary Immunosuppression

    reduction of immune system activity or effectiveness

    Immunosuppression, also known as immune suppression, refers to the reduction of the activation or efficacy of the immune system. This can be a deliberate process, such as when medications are used to prevent the body from rejecting a transplanted organ, or it can occur as a side effect of treatments like chemotherapy. It can also result from certain diseases that inherently weaken the immune response.
