What does this test HLA B27 (Flow Cytometry) Test identify?

HLA B27 (Flow Cytometry) Test

The HLA B27 (Flow Cytometry) Test is a diagnostic test that identifies the presence of the human leukocyte antigen B27 (HLA B27) protein on the surface of white blood cells. This test is used to help diagnose conditions such as ankylosing spondylitis, reactive arthritis, and other autoimmune diseases.

HLA B27 is a genetic marker that is found in over 90% of individuals with ankylosing spondylitis, making it a valuable tool in the diagnosis of this condition. The test involves collecting a blood sample from the patient and analyzing the white blood cells using flow cytometry to detect the presence of HLA B27.

Positive results for HLA B27 can help confirm a diagnosis of ankylosing spondylitis or other related conditions, while negative results do not rule out the possibility of these diseases. It is important to interpret the results of this test in conjunction with other clinical findings to make an accurate diagnosis.

Why is this test HLA B27 (Flow Cytometry) Test taken?

The HLA B27 (Flow Cytometry) Test is taken to detect the presence of a specific genetic marker called Human Leukocyte Antigen B27 (HLA B27) on the surface of white blood cells.

This test is primarily used to help diagnose conditions such as ankylosing spondylitis, reactive arthritis, and other autoimmune diseases that are associated with the presence of the HLA B27 marker.

By identifying the presence of HLA B27, healthcare providers can better understand and manage these conditions, leading to more effective treatment and improved patient outcomes.
