Short Name: HLA Pre-Transplant Workup Panel 1
Also known as: HLA Compatibility Test for Transplant, Non-Sensitized Recipient HLA Panel
HLA Pre-Transplant Workup Non Sensitized Recipient Panel 1 Test test available at DNA Labs India for ₹22,230. Uses Complement Dependent Cytotoxicity with DTT treatment, Reverse SSOP - Luminex, Luminex X-Map technology on Whole blood and serum samples. Results in 10-12 days. Free home collection in 300+ cities across India.
Overview
Recipient: HLA DNA Typing for Kidney/Liver transplant (PCR Low resolution Luminex), HLA T & B cell lymphocyte cross match vs potential donor, HLA Panel Reactive IgG antibodies (PRA) Screen Luminex. This workup aims to assess HLA match/mismatch, detect allo-immunization status, and identify complement-fixing allo-antibodies to predict transplant compatibility.

About This Test
Who Should Get This Test
Recipient: HLA DNA Typing for Kidney/Liver transplant (PCR Low resolution Luminex), HLA T & B cell lymphocyte cross match vs potential donor, HLA Panel Reactive IgG antibodies (PRA) Screen Luminex. This workup aims to assess HLA match/mismatch, detect allo-immunization status, and identify complement-fixing allo-antibodies to predict transplant compatibility.
How to Prepare
- Collect whole blood in specified tubes (ACD, EDTA) and serum in SST
- Ensure specimens are collected 48 hours post-dialysis if applicable
- Include signed consent form (Form 33) and doctor's prescription with photos
- Ship samples refrigerated; avoid freezing
Doctor's Notes
"This test is crucial for evaluating donor-recipient compatibility in non-sensitized patients awaiting organ transplantation, particularly for kidneys or livers, to minimize rejection risks."
Test Parameters & Specifications
Sample Stability
- Missing consent form or prescription
- Sample hemolysis
- Incorrect storage
- Inadequate sample volume
Understanding Your Results
HLA Match
Higher compatibility reduces rejection risk
Negative Cross-Match
No donor-specific antibodies detected, favorable for transplant
Low PRA (<20%)
Lower sensitization, better transplant outcomes
Positive Cross-Match or High PRA
Indicates sensitization; may require desensitization or alternate donor
Consult your nephrologist or transplant specialist if results show incompatibility, high antibody levels, or if you have questions about transplant readiness.
Limitations
- ⚠Results are qualitative and require specialist interpretation
- ⚠Cannot predict all forms of rejection
- ⚠Limited to non-sensitized recipients
Risks & Considerations
- ●Minor bruising at puncture site
- ●Rare infection risk
- ●Minimal discomfort
Interfering Factors
- ●Recent blood transfusions
- ●Dialysis within 48 hours
- ●Sample hemolysis
- ●Improper sample storage
