Description

In this podcast, our Medical Director, Brad Lewis, talks with Dr. Christina Klein, a transplant nephrologist and the head of the transplant program at Piedmont Transplant Institute in Atlanta, GA. 

Dr. Lewis and Dr. Klein discuss renal transplants and the different roles of testing around renal transplants (i.e. gene sequencing and soluble MAC). 

They also discuss the functions of genetic testing for aHUS and complement activation in patients who are coming in for transplant evaluation.

Don't forget... Machaon offers aHUS testing with a turnaround time of 24 hours.
