Since the 1970s, the primary method for determining the presence of DSAs has been the complement-dependent cytotoxicity crossmatch. Solid phase assays on the Luminex platform were introduced in India in 2010 in the form of human leukocyte antigen antibody screening, single antigen bead (SAB) assay and lysate-based crossmatch (LumXM) to identify low titer antibodies, which are deleterious to allograft. Instead of SAB, LumXM has been popularly used in India to identify DSAs and also called DSA crossmatch, which is not recommended or validated in International literature for denying or accepting to transplant a patient due to its fallacies. We are reporting three cases which showcase the flawed nature of this test and the implications of this test on day to day practice in transplantation.","PeriodicalId":37455,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Transplantation","volume":"60 3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135801990","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, even after three decades, the deceased organ donation rate in India stands at a mere 0.52 per million population, crucially due to a lack of brain death awareness, and an absence of institutionalized protocols for deceased donations. Objectives: By taking the case of the state of Haryana, this article seeks to understand the existing state of brain death awareness among professionals working in the medical community, and identify the implementation challenges that would be involved in instituting a state-level policy for donations from deceased persons. Materials and Methods: This paper adopts a qualitative approach, utilizing in-depth interviews with doctors in the districts of Rohtak and Charkhi Dadri in Haryana, and transplant coordinators across the state to gather a nuanced understanding of the issue. Results: The research finds that brain death awareness is lacking among doctors, along with the necessary resources for brain death declarations to become practice. There is also an evident district-wise variation in the responses of doctors when it comes to the potential challenges of instituting a brain death declaration standard operating procedure. It offers recommendations for improved implementation of organ transplant policies and scaling up of deceased donations. Conclusion: To unearth the potential that deceased organ donation holds, some immediate measures that can be taken include mapping all the functional organ retrieval facilities across the state and their closest civil hospitals or postgraduate medical institutions with trauma centres, and focusing on the sensitization of the medical functionaries with respect to brain death and its identification.","PeriodicalId":37455,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Transplantation","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135839632","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, its rate is relatively low in India. There is a gross discrepancy between the number of people requiring organ transplantation due to failure and the organ donor pool. It is expected that the donors can easily accept the idea of organ donation as they are already involved in acts of humanitarianism. Aims: This study aimed to compare knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding organ donation among blood donors and nonblood donors. Materials and Methods: It was a cross-sectional analytical study among two groups: blood donors and nonblood donors, conducted over 2 months. A standardized questionnaire proforma was prepared, which consisted of questions to assess the person’s knowledge, attitude, and awareness about organ donation. Results: A total of 754 people participated in the study. Of which, 722 were enrolled after strict inclusion and exclusion criteria. Three hundred and sixty-one were blood donors, and 361 were nonblood donors. There was a comparatively large difference in knowledge, attitude, and practices among blood donors regarding organ donation compared to nondonors. It was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The blood donors had significantly more knowledge, attitude, and practices regarding organ donation than nondonors. Even though blood donors had a positive attitude toward organ donation, only 42 participants have committed to organ donation to date. If we can bridge the gap and provide the basic knowledge regarding organ donation, it can help to build a positive attitude regarding the same in society. An awareness campaign regarding organ donation can be conducted in the community regularly to promote the process of organ donation.","PeriodicalId":37455,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Transplantation","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135839655","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
