About us
The National Histocompatibility and Immunogenetics Service for Solid Organ Transplantation (NHISSOT) was set up to provide a nationwide transplant immunology service for solid organ transplantation, including HLA typing and crossmatching donors and recipients for solid organ transplants.
The department offers a service to the renal, pancreatic, liver, cardiac and lung transplant services and will facilitate the needs of any of the corneal transplant units in the country as required.
The H&I department is accredited by CPA (Clinical Pathology Accreditation) UK Ltd, and aims to gain accreditation by EFI (European Federation for Immunogenetics) in the future.
The H&I department is committed to providing and maintaining a service of the highest quality by strictly adhering to policies and procedures that are in place to ensure standards are being maintained.
Our User’s Guide is intended as a guide to the services and tests available in the H&I department. It provides details of the tests available, their specimen requirements, as well as appropriate background information.
