What is the maximum days the report can be obtained for the test

The maximum days the report can be obtained for the test HLA-ABC (Class 1) Typing Test is 7 days.

What are the prerequisites for the test HLA- ABC (Class 1) Typing Test

Prerequisites for HLA-ABC (Class 1) Typing Test:

  1. Doctor's referral or order for the test
  2. Valid identification (e.g. driver's license, passport)
  3. Completed patient information form
  4. Fasting (if required by the healthcare provider)
  5. Any relevant medical history or current medications

What are the measure values for the test HLA- ABC (Class 1) Typing Test

  • Positive: The presence of specific HLA-A, HLA-B, or HLA-C antigens
  • Negative: The absence of specific HLA-A, HLA-B, or HLA-C antigens
  • Indeterminate: Inconclusive results, further testing may be required

What does this test HLA- ABC (Class 1) Typing Test identify?

This test identifies human leukocyte antigen (HLA) type ABC, which is a set of proteins found on the surface of most cells in the body. These proteins help the immune system distinguish between self and non-self cells, and play a crucial role in immune responses.

HLA typing is important for various medical purposes, including organ transplantation, determining compatibility between donors and recipients, and predicting susceptibility to certain diseases. HLA-ABC typing specifically focuses on class 1 HLA proteins, which are involved in presenting antigens to cytotoxic T cells.

Why is this test HLA- ABC (Class 1) Typing Test taken?

HLA- ABC (Class 1) Typing Test

Why is the HLA- ABC (Class 1) Typing Test taken?

The HLA- ABC (Class 1) Typing Test is taken to assess the compatibility between a patient and a potential donor for organ or tissue transplantation. Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) typing is a crucial step in organ transplantation as it helps determine the likelihood of the recipient's immune system accepting or rejecting the transplanted organ or tissue.

HLA molecules are proteins found on the surface of cells and play a key role in the immune system's recognition of self and non-self cells. The HLA- ABC (Class 1) Typing Test specifically looks at Class 1 HLA molecules, which are present on almost all nucleated cells in the body.

By testing the HLA- ABC (Class 1) alleles of both the recipient and donor, healthcare providers can identify potential mismatches that may trigger an immune response in the recipient, leading to organ rejection. The closer the match between the HLA alleles of the donor and recipient, the lower the risk of rejection and the better the chances of a successful transplant.

Overall, the HLA- ABC (Class 1) Typing Test is an essential tool in ensuring the success of organ and tissue transplantation procedures, as it helps healthcare providers make informed decisions about donor-recipient compatibility and minimize the risk of rejection.
