Florence Nightingale Hospital Immunology Laboratory supports many centers in kidney, liver and bone marrow transplantations in the Marmara region. Support in organ transplantation topic is provided to many centers all across the country. Immunology Laboratory is directed by Rustu Oguz, MD.

Today, evaluation of rejection after transplantation is performed in the most closest to perfect way in our immunology laboratory, which successfully translates recent developments into clinical practice simultaneously. Antibody levels in the recipient blood, presence of antibodies against donor’s tissue type, and even levels of these antibodies at low or high titration are most important issues that immunology laboratory provides insights in kidney transplantation. Thus, potential risk of immunological reaction to transplanted kidney can be estimated. Detailed immunological investigations of tissues before transplant contribute high success rate in kidney transplantation at our center.
