HLA DNA TYPING FOR KIDNEY / LIVER TRANSPLANT PCR Test
HLA DNA typing is a crucial test for those who are in need of a kidney or liver transplant. The Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) system is a group of genes that are responsible for the immune system’s ability to recognize foreign cells. These genes are inherited from both parents and are unique to each individual.
HLA DNA typing is used to determine the compatibility between the donor and the recipient. The test identifies the HLA genes present in the donor and recipient and compares them to determine if they are a match. A match between the donor and recipient’s HLA genes is crucial for the success of a transplant.
PCR Test
PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) is a highly sensitive technique used to amplify DNA. It is used in HLA DNA typing to increase the amount of DNA available for testing. The process involves heating and cooling the DNA sample to create multiple copies of the target DNA sequence.
Cost of HLA DNA Typing for Kidney / Liver Transplant PCR Test
The cost of the HLA DNA typing for kidney/liver transplant PCR test in India is INR 17316. The cost may vary depending on the location and the lab performing the test.
Symptoms and Diagnosis
Patients who are in need of a kidney or liver transplant may experience a range of symptoms, including fatigue, jaundice, swelling in the legs and abdomen, and decreased urine output. These symptoms are often the result of liver or kidney failure.
Diagnosis of liver or kidney failure is typically made through blood tests and imaging studies. The HLA DNA typing test is used to determine compatibility between the donor and recipient.
Conclusion
HLA DNA typing is a crucial test for those who are in need of a kidney or liver transplant. It is used to determine compatibility between the donor and recipient, ensuring the success of the transplant. The cost of the test in India is INR 17316, and patients may experience symptoms such as fatigue and swelling before diagnosis.
For more information on HLA DNA typing for kidney/liver transplant PCR test, contact DNA Labs India. This test helps to determine the extent of match between donor & recipient. In cases of renal / liver transplants it is preferable to have a higher degree of match as the receipient is likely to generate antibodies for the mismatched antigens which can lead to acute or chronic allograft rejection.
