The Christian Medical College Hospital, Vellore has earned the distinction of recently conducting a “successful kidney transplantation across major blood group incompatibility.”
The Department of Nephrology was supported by the Department of Immunohaematology and Transfusion Medicine in this surgery. Matching blood groups is a pre-requisite for any kidney transplant, but recently hospitals have begun taking up mismatched cases.
