HLA (Human Leukocyte Antigen) Panel Reactive Antibodies tests are conducted to determine the presence of panel-reactive antibodies in the blood. These panel-reactive antibodies can cause complications in organ transplantation, leading to the rejection of the transplanted organ. This test is an essential tool for the pre-transplant work-up and follow-up of transplant recipients. The HLA Panel Reactive Antibodies test is a blood test that detects the presence of antibodies against foreign HLA antigens. Apollo 24|7 offers this test at an affordable price and with quick turnaround times.
Symptoms
HLA Panel Reactive Antibodies do not present symptoms in isolation. However, the presence of panel reactive antibodies in the blood can lead to complications during organ transplantation. These complications include:
- Acute rejection - This occurs when the recipient's immune system recognizes the transplanted organ as foreign and attacks it.
- Chronic rejection - This occurs when repeated episodes of acute rejection lead to irreversible damage to the transplanted organ.
- Graft-versus-host disease - This occurs when the transplanted organ or tissue recognizes the recipient's body as foreign and attacks it.

The HLA Panel Reactive Antibodies test requires a blood sample. A healthcare professional will draw a small amount of blood from a vein in your arm using a needle and syringe. The blood will The blood sample is examined for the presence of antibodies against a panel of HLA antigens. The test results indicate the percentage of panel reactive antibodies in the blood. A higher percentage indicates a higher risk of transplant rejection.

If the HLA Panel Reactive Antibodies test comes back positive, it indicates that the patient has a high percentage of panel reactive antibodies in their blood. This puts them at a higher risk of transplant rejection. In such cases, the healthcare provider will take necessary steps to reduce the panel reactive antibodies, such as administering immunosuppressant medications or selecting an organ donor with compatible HLA antigens.
