Kaya had an organ transplant. She went to the doctor a week later, and the doctor did a blood test. Her lymphocyte count
had increased. She went to the doctor a month later for the same test, and her lymphocyte count was higher. What is the
best explanation as to why her lymphocyte levels were increasing?
O Kaya was given antibiotics to prevent infections.
Kaya's antigens were attacking the tissue.
Kaya was not tissue typed prior to her surgery, and her body is mounting an immune response.
O Kaya took her immunosuppressant drugs weekly, which increased her lymphocyte count.

The best explanation for the increased lymphocyte levels in Kaya is that she was not tissue typed prior to her surgery, and her body is mounting an immune response.

Explanation:

When performing an organ transplant, it must be verified whether the organ to be transplanted is compatible -by tissue typing- with the recipient, since it is recognized as a foreign body by the body and can be rejected.

One of the immunological responses to organ rejection is called cell rejection, involving T-helper and cytotoxic lymphocytes.

It is very likely that in Kaya's case the tests have not been performed correctly, and she is experiencing rejection of the organ she received. The progressive increase in lymphocytes may be an indication of this.

The other options are not possible because:

ya the other dude is right
