310 Fine needle aspirations biopsies (FNAB) were performed in sixty-five live related renal donor transplant recipients in a prospective study over 2 years. 82.8% of FNAB were adequate for opinion and there were no complications after the procedure. Methodology used and interpretation of FNACs was as described by Von Willebrand and Hayry. The procedure of FNAC had a sensitivity of 83.3%, specificity of 98.3% and accuracy of 96.1%, and statistically significant (p < .001) correlation was noted between FNAC and Needle biopsy. The increment in lymphoblasts, lymphocytes and score above 3 was suggestive of acute cellular rejection. Increment in monocytes and macrophages above 1% in addition to other cells, was suggestive of acute vascular rejection. FNAC was found to be a safe, simple and easy procedure with high specificity and sensitivity.

D012680	Sensitivity and Specificity	Binary classification measures to assess test results. Sensitivity or recall rate is the proportion of true positives. Specificity is the probability of correctly determining the absence of a condition. (From Last, Dictionary of Epidemiology, 2d ed)	Specificity,Sensitivity,Specificity and Sensitivity
D015203	Reproducibility of Results	The statistical reproducibility of measurements (often in a clinical context), including the testing of instrumentation or techniques to obtain reproducible results. The concept includes reproducibility of physiological measurements, which may be used to develop rules to assess probability or prognosis, or response to a stimulus; reproducibility of occurrence of a condition; and reproducibility of experimental results.
