Test Overview & Methodology
The HLA typing test uses next-generation sequencing to decode human leukocyte antigens, precisely matching donors and recipients for solid organ or bone marrow transplantation. This high-resolution analysis reduces graft rejection risk and improves transplant outcomes.
| Feature | Our Test (NGS) | PCR-SSP / Serology |
|---|---|---|
| Methodology | Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) | PCR-SSP / Serology |
| Precision | Allele-level high resolution (99.9% sensitivity) | Antigen-level low resolution |
| Turnaround Time | 12–15 working days | 5–7 working days |
All tests are processed in a DHA-licensed facility (License No. 1143) and adhere to ISO 9001:2015 standards.
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
Lina Osama Zaki Quteineh, Consultant Medical Genetics (DHA Registration ID: 9294403), shares: "HLA typing is a cornerstone of transplant compatibility. The NGS method provides allele-level precision, but results must be integrated with antibody screening and clinical history. This test supports informed decision-making, not a standalone guarantee of transplant success."
Advisory Precautions
Medication & Emergency Guidance
- Medication Warning: Do not alter or discontinue prescribed immunosuppressants without consulting your doctor; they may affect antibody testing.
- Emergency Red Flags: If you experience severe swelling, fainting, or an allergic reaction after the blood draw, seek immediate emergency care. Call 998 for UAE ambulance services.
- Informed Consent: A detailed clinical consultation is mandatory before sample collection, in accordance with Federal Decree-Law No. 4 of 2016 on Medical Liability.
Exclusion Criteria
Conditions That May Invalidate Results
- Recent Blood Transfusion: Transfusion within the last 2 weeks can alter HLA typing results. Inform our phlebotomist if this applies.
- Active Systemic Infection: Ongoing infection may interfere with immune marker detection. Testing may be deferred until resolution.
- Pregnancy: Physiological changes during pregnancy may affect HLA expression; discuss with your physician before testing.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is HLA typing and why is it required before a transplant?
HLA typing precisely identifies your human leukocyte antigens to assess tissue compatibility for transplants, minimizing rejection risk. This high-resolution test compares donor and recipient immune markers; a close match dramatically improves graft survival and reduces long-term immunosuppression needs.
2. How is the sample collected and what is the turnaround time?
Our VIP mobile phlebotomy service collects one blood tube under strict cold-chain conditions; results are delivered in 12–15 working days. The sample remains stable at room temperature for up to 24 hours. All handling follows ISO-certified protocols from collection to analysis.
3. Is this test approved under UAE medical regulations?
Yes, the test complies with all DHA and Ministry of Health guidelines. Our laboratory is licensed by the Dubai Health Authority (DHA License No. 1143) and accredited to ISO 9001:2015.
