Test Parameters & Specifications
Sample Stability
- Insufficient sample volume
- Use of improper sample containers
- Missing doctor's prescription or consent form
- Hemolyzed, clotted, or improperly labeled samples
Understanding Your Results
Low sensitization and good HLA match
Lower risk of rejection; transplant may proceed with standard protocols.
High sensitization or poor HLA match
Higher risk of rejection; desensitization therapies or alternative donor selection may be needed.
Positive donor-specific antibodies
Indicates immune recognition of donor tissue; requires careful evaluation by transplant specialist.
Consult your nephrologist or transplant specialist immediately after receiving test results to discuss transplant eligibility and potential rejection management strategies.
