Once the cause of your problem is known, the doctor will be able to plan out treatment to relieve your symptoms.

Procedure for HLA B27 test

The HLA B27 test is conducted in a way similar to any other blood test. It does not require any additional preparation before the testing.

A trained technician will draw a small amount of blood by inserting the needle into the vein.
The collected blood sample will be transferred to a small vial or test tube. The sample will then be sent to a lab for further processing.
While inserting a needle into the vein, slight pain may be experienced in the arm. However, the pain will reduce immediately. Some individuals may also experience redness and swelling at the needle insertion site.
The procedure usually lasts for about 5-10 minutes.

Wear a bandage or apply pressure on the injection site with cotton for a specified period (unless you experience skin irritation at the puncture site).
Avoid any strenuous activities and exercises that may cause bleeding.
If you feel stiffness or bruising at the puncture site, dab an ice pack wrapped in a towel on your arm.

If you experience any worrisome symptoms, call and consult the doctor or contact the support team.

What types of infection can the HLA B27 test detect?

The HLA-B27 test is used to help confirm or establish a suspected diagnosis of ankylosing spondylitis (AS), juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA), reactive arthritis, or anterior uveitis. In the vast majority of instances, the reason is unknown. However, in certain cases of reactive arthritis, there is a link between the development of the disease and prior infection with a microorganism such as Campylobacter, Chlamydia, Salmonella, and Yersinia. Similarities between the HLA-B27 antigen and antigens present on the surface of bacteria are said to cause the immune system to fight both the germ and the person’s own tissues, resulting in the autoimmune condition after the infection has resolved.

How much does the HLA B27 test cost?

HLA B27test is a potent test to figure out the proteins present on the surface of white blood cells. This helps the doctor understand the patient’s immune system so that he can devise a treatment plan that is suitable for him. The HLA B27 costs around 1000 to 1500 rupees, depending on the clinic.

Disclaimer: The value varies based on location, time, and your preferred lab partner.

You can expect to get the results within 24 to 48 hours after the sample is collected. However, in some instances, depending on the location, medical advice, and preferred lab partner, it may take longer.

What do abnormal HLA B27 test results indicate?

This is a blood test done to see the protein present on the surface of the white blood cells. This protein is mandatory as it helps the body understand the difference between one’s own cell as well as the foreign substances. When the body is unable to determine this difference it so happens that it attacks its own cells, leading to autoimmune disorders like arthritis and spondylitis.

Disclaimer: Please consult with your doctor for interpreting the test reports.

Is the HLA B27 test a definite test?

The test is effective in determining the presence of protein on the surface of the white blood cells.

The findings of the test may differ based on your age, biological sex, medical history, the method utilised for testing, and other factors. Your test results might not indicate that you have a problem. Inquire with your doctor about what your test findings signify for you.

A negative test result indicates that you do not have Hla- B 27 in your blood. A positive result indicates that HLA B27 was detected in your blood. Certain autoimmune disorders, such as ankylosing spondylitis and reactive arthritis, may be more common in you. If you require a tissue or organ transplant and the HLA antigens don’t match those of the donor, your body may reject the graft.

What does the HLA B27 test measure?

Human leukocyte antigen B27, also known as HLA B27, is a unique protein and genetic marker found only on the surface of cells. Therefore, this test aids in determining whether the HLA-B27 protein is present on the surface of White blood cells (WBCs).
Human leukocyte antigens are proteins that assist the immune system to distinguish between "self" and "non-self" cells in the body. Everybody has an inherited set of HLA genes that code for the various antigens found on their cell surfaces. Each person's HLA combination is determined by the presence or absence of each antigen.

What Preparation is needed for the HLA B27 test?

The HLA B27 does not need any additional preparation. However, the healthcare professional must be aware of the patient's medical history. Doctors should also be aware of the patient's current medications.
