Abstract
A method for monitoring a patient for rejection reactions to an implanted organ is provided with an implantable telemetry measuring unit with electrodes that can be implanted in the organ. An electric current is passed through the body tissue via two current electrodes. The impedance of the body tissue through which this current is flowing is determined with two measuring electrodes. Each of the measuring electrodes annularly surrounds one and only one current electrode. The electrodes are embedded in a support element such that they project from this support element only with their front end.
