What serious adverse effect is associated with antithymocyte globulin?

  1. Hypertension

  2. Anaphylaxis

  3. Nephrotoxicity

  4. Hyperlipidemia

The correct answer is: Anaphylaxis

Antithymocyte globulin is a medication commonly used to prevent or treat rejection in patients who have undergone organ transplantation. One serious adverse effect associated with antithymocyte globulin is anaphylaxis. Anaphylaxis is a severe allergic reaction that can be life-threatening and requires immediate medical attention. It is characterized by symptoms such as difficulty breathing, swelling of the face or throat, rapid heartbeat, and a drop in blood pressure. Therefore, option B is the correct answer. While hypertension, nephrotoxicity, and hyperlipidemia are potential side effects of other medications, they are not typically associated with antithymocyte globulin.
