Pathology

Histocompatibility and Immunogenetics (Transplant Immunology)

The Transplant Immunology Laboratory performs investigations in determination of donor and recipient compatibility for transplantation. These investigations are of two main types – ‘tissue typing’ which facilitates donor-recipient matching and serum screening/crossmatching, which determines recipient sensitisation against putative donor antigens. From results of these tests advice will be given to clinical colleagues regarding progression of patients to transplantation and on their post-transplant management.

A copy of the Service Prospectus is available on request from the laboratory.

Patient information pamphlets are available on request for a range of topics, including renal patients, renal donors, HSCT patients, HSCT donors and disease association (see Transplant Immunology Useful Information).

The Transplant Laboratory service is open from 08.30 to 17.00 Monday to Friday.

There is an out of hours laboratory service for deceased donor transplantation ONLY.

The laboratory is located at St. James' University Hospital.
