Global Hospitals on Wednesday claimed to have succes-sfully performed incompatible renal transplant on a 24-year-old suffering from chronic kidney failure. The patient had not gotten a suitable blood group matched donor, follo-wing which the hospital took up incompatible renal transp-lantation using plasma-pheresis and Rituximab, said G. Sridhar, chief consultant nephrologist of the hospital.
Renal transplant is rejected in cases where blood groups of patient and the donor do not match. However, recent advances have made succe-ssful transpl-antation possible even without blood group matching, Dr. Sridhar said.
