If the donor received a well-matched transplant from the recipient, there is a lower risk of rejection and the recipient may eventually be able to discontinue immunosuppressant drugs. However, in cases where the transplanted organ is vital, even a well-matched transplant may still require lifelong use of immunosuppressant drugs.
