I read that all the cells in your body are completely renewed every decade or so. If you have a transplanted organ, how does the body replace its dying cells?

The cells of the transplanted organ will divide and replace themselves, just like the rest of the organs in your body. The transplanted organ will still be made up of cells 'from the donor' 10 years later. They will never be replaced 'by your own cells'. That's why transplant patients need to take anti-rejection drugs for life.
