Overview
The primary purpose of the Transplant Form 5 DNA Test is to determine the genetic compatibility between a potential organ donor and a recipient. This is achieved by comparing HLA markers, which are essential for the immune system to accept the transplanted organ. A high degree of compatibility reduces the likelihood of rejection and the need for aggressive immunosuppressive therapy. The test is a mandatory part of the pre-transplant evaluation process, as mandated by the Government of India. It helps in identifying suitable donors, whether related or unrelated, and ensures that the transplant is performed with the highest possible chance of success. Additionally, the test aids in the early detection of potential mismatches, allowing the medical team to explore alternative options or adjust the treatment plan accordingly.

Understanding Your Results
Excellent compatibility, low risk of rejection
Acceptable compatibility, moderate risk of rejection
High risk of rejection, transplant may not be recommended
Consult your transplant coordinator or geneticist to discuss the results and next steps. If the test shows a mismatch, your doctor may explore alternative donors or treatment options.
