 Significant Events

 The department has established several new technologies including ELISA-PRA and Flow-PRA, for assessment of graft dysfunction following renal and bone marrow transplantation.   Chimerism analysis following BMT is also performed to assess the engraftment status of the recipient. These tests are very informative for post transplant monitoring. The services are offered for patient care purposes on routine basis.
