Prospective multi-centric study to analyze pre-transplant compatibility algorithm for live-related donor kidney transplant in Indian setting: the "Delhi approach"!

Background: Since no single test is always accurate and sensitive, two or more tests are used to increase the precision of evaluation. Different algorithms have been proposed by centers in Leiden, Basel, Vienna and Minnesota, etc. With an intention to develop an optimal algorithm for India, we evaluated pre-transplant compatibility tests for live-donor kidney transplants.
