Why is a patient more unlikely to reject an allograft if it comes from a close relative?

Because, genetically - the donated 'cells' are a closer match to the patient's DNA structure than if they came from a stranger. This means that the patient's immune system is more likely to accept the donation than reject it.

Why does a patient's body is less likely to reject and allograft if it comes from a relative?
Because it is more likely that a relative will have the same MHCs (major histocompatibility complexes) on their cells. When immune cells patrol the body they will bind these complexes which tell them whether the cell they are binding is 'self" or "nonself". If they bind a MHC which they percieve as nonself, they may initate an immune response leading to rejection of the graft

How do immunosuppressive drugs work?
They work by 'tricking' the body into accepting things like a donor organ. Normally, the body would reject an organ from another person, because it's not an exact match to the patient's tissues. The drugs stop the patient producing anti-bodies that would fight to reject the donated organ. Unfortunately, they also destroy the patient's natural disease-fighting capabilities - which is why initially, the patient is kept in isolation.

Is a doctor chosen by the patient who is the first doctor the patient sees responsible for making referrals for further treatment by a specialist or for hospitalization?
If the doctor believes treatment by a specialist or hospitalization is necessary, yes, he is responsible for making those recommendations to the patient. The patient is ultimately the one who will either accept or reject those recommendations, and could seek a second opinion from another doctor if he or she chooses. If the patient accepts the advice of the first doctor, the doctor will make the referrals.
