CONDUCTS KIDNEY TRANSPLANT ACROSS BLOOD GROUPS.

New IMMUNOADSORBION Technology.

Narayana Institute of kidney disease  and transplantation announced successful  transplantation of  kidney across unmatched blood groups.A mother with 'B' blood group donated her  kidney to her son with 'O' blood group.

This new technology is a boon to the country as it is bound to decrease the need for unrelated kidney transplantation   by around 30%  thereby increasing donor pool within the family.

This operation  took 6 hours which involved a team of 6 doctors headed by Dr.Ishthiaque Ahmed.
