Mumbai doctors have successfully performed the city’s first HLA compatible, acceptable mismatch domino kidney transplant of the year. This extraordinary procedure involved six surgeries across hospitals and states, uniting three donors and three recipient families in a synchronised chain to save lives. 

In a landmark medical feat, a multidisciplinary team led by Dr. Bharat Shah, Dr. Shruti Tapiawala, Dr. Pradeep Rao, Dr. Jitendra Jagtap at Gleneagles Hospital, Parel, Mumbai. Leveraging advanced transplant immunodiagnositics and acceptable mismatch techniques in HLA medicine, the domino transplant addressed the unique challenges of highly sensitised patients which is only 7-10 per cent of transplant population, marking a new milestone in renal transplantation for our state and country.
