An HLA B27 (Human Leukocyte Antigen B27) - PCR test is a blood test that helps to identify the presence of Human Leukocyte Antigen B27(HLA B-27), a specific type of protein that is present on the surface of white blood cells (WBCs) that helps the body's immune system tell the difference between its own cells and foreign/harmful substances. This test is widely available with Tata 1mg labs at an affordable price in Ranchi

Your doctor may suggest an HLA B-27 test if you experience signs and symptoms such as stiffness and chronic pain in the back, neck, or chest, inflammation in eyes, urethra, and joints, the appearance of skin lesions, recurring fever, abdominal pain, or digestive problems indicative of an autoimmune disorder. Additionally, this test is also used during an organ transplant to match donated tissue with a transplant recipient  to minimize the risk of organ rejection and improve the success of the transplantation procedure. No special preparation is needed for this test. You may eat and drink as per your daily routine.

Understanding HLA B27 (Human Leukocyte Antigen B27) - PCR

Human Leukocyte Antigens (HLAs) genes play a crucial role in the immune system, and the HLA B27 variant is associated with certain autoimmune conditions, especially a group of joint-related conditions known as seronegative spondyloarthropathies. These include ankylosing spondylitis, reactive arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and juvenile idiopathic arthritis.

This test uses a method called PCR (polymerase chain reaction), which is more accurate and sensitive than other methods like flow cytometry. It helps doctors detect the HLA-B27 gene, assess the risk, and monitor the condition if symptoms are already present.

The doctor may suggest an HLA B27 (Human Leukocyte Antigen B27) - PCR test if there are signs and symptoms such as chronic back pain, joint pain, stiffness, or inflammation in the eyes, urethra, and joints, or have a family history of autoimmune conditions. The HLA B27 test is also used to match donated tissue to the tissue of the organ transplant recipient.

Usually, no special preparation is needed for this test. Eat and drink as per the daily routine. Also, inform the doctor about any medications being taken, as some medications may influence the test results if taken before this test.

Test result ranges may vary slightly across laboratories. Talk to your doctor to understand what the result means. Based on the findings, they may recommend lifestyle changes or medications to manage your health.

What does HLA B27 (Human Leukocyte Antigen B27) - PCR measure?

An HLA B27 (Human Leukocyte Antigen B27) - PCR test is used to determine the presence or absence of the HLA B27 antigen to rule out the possibility of an autoimmune disorder. This gene is found on the surface of certain white blood cells and may increase the risk of developing conditions like ankylosing spondylitis, reactive arthritis, and psoriatic arthritis.

A positive result means the gene is present, and there may be a higher risk of these conditions. A negative result means the gene is not found. However, it is important to know that not having the HLA B27 gene does not fully rule out autoimmune disorders, as some people without the gene can still develop them.
