HLA Pretransplant Workup Panel 2 Test
Comprehensive Transplant Compatibility Assessment
The HLA Pretransplant Workup Panel 2 Test represents a critical advancement in transplantation medicine, providing comprehensive immunological evaluation essential for successful organ transplantation outcomes. This sophisticated diagnostic panel examines human leukocyte antigen (HLA) compatibility between potential donors and recipients, serving as a cornerstone in modern transplant protocols.
What Does the HLA Pretransplant Workup Panel 2 Measure?
This comprehensive panel utilizes multiple advanced methodologies to ensure accurate and thorough assessment:
- Complement Dependent Cytotoxicity with DTT treatment – Detects HLA antibodies that could cause immediate graft rejection
- Reverse SSOP-Luminex technology – Provides high-resolution HLA typing for precise matching
- Luminex X-Map technology – Enables simultaneous detection of multiple HLA antibodies
- Flow cytometry – Assesses cellular immune responses and crossmatch compatibility
Who Should Consider This Test?
This essential evaluation is recommended for:
- Patients awaiting kidney, liver, heart, or other solid organ transplantation
- Potential living donors being evaluated for organ donation
- Recipients with previous transplant history requiring re-evaluation
- Patients with known HLA sensitization from previous transplants, pregnancies, or blood transfusions
- Individuals with autoimmune conditions that may affect transplant outcomes
Key Benefits of HLA Pretransplant Testing
- Reduced Rejection Risk – Identifies incompatible HLA matches before transplantation
- Improved Transplant Success – Enhances long-term graft survival through optimal matching
- Personalized Treatment Planning – Guides immunosuppression protocols based on individual risk profiles
- Comprehensive Risk Assessment – Evaluates both cellular and antibody-mediated rejection risks
- Time-Efficient Evaluation – 10-12 day turnaround supports timely transplant decisions
Understanding Your Test Results
Your HLA Pretransplant Workup Panel 2 results provide critical information for your transplant team:
