Overview
The HLA Mixed Antibody Screen – PRA Class I, II & MICA test detects circulating anti-HLA and MICA antibodies in transplant candidates or recipients using Luminex X-Map technology. This high-resolution assay identifies immunologic sensitization to guide organ allocation and immunosuppressive therapy.
| Feature | Our Test (DHA-Aligned) | Closest Alternative |
|---|---|---|
| Methodology | Luminex X-Map (single antigen beads) | Complement-Dependent Cytotoxicity (CDC) |
| Antibody Coverage | HLA Class I, II & MICA simultaneously | HLA Class I and II only (no MICA) |
| Turnaround Time | 10-12 days | 7-14 days (often longer for CDC crossmatch) |
| Sample Requirement | 3 mL serum (1 SST); only recipient sample | May need donor lymphocytes in addition |
| Compliance | UAE CDS Law 2026, Federal Decree-Law No. 41 of 2024 Art. 87, PDPL | Varies by provider |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocol
“As a clinician, I understand the anxiety a positive antibody screen can bring—it is not a failure, but a critical signal that helps us personalize your transplant journey. This assay must always be correlated with clinical history and crossmatch results; an isolated result never dictates listing decisions. Please remember that immunosuppressive adjustments are made only after full evaluation.” — Dr. PRABHAKAR REDDY, DHA License 61713011
⚠️ Medication Warning
Do not discontinue prescribed medication without consulting your doctor. This test is not a substitute for clinical monitoring.
🚨 Safety Exclusion Criteria & ER Red Flags
- Active febrile illness or systemic infection within 48 hours of collection may delay testing.
- Recent blood transfusion (within 6 weeks) may interfere with donor-specific antibody interpretation.
- If experiencing graft tenderness, sudden oliguria, or fever post-transplant, seek emergency care immediately—do not wait for results.
- Collection is not performed on patients with acute hemodynamic instability.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
Q1: What does a positive PRA Class I, II and MICA result mean for my transplant eligibility?
Quick Answer: A positive panel reactive antibody (PRA) result indicates the presence of antibodies against specific HLA or MICA antigens, which may increase the risk of antibody-mediated rejection if not addressed. However, modern desensitization protocols, paired kidney exchange, and optimized donor matching (including virtual crossmatching) enable successful transplantation in highly sensitized patients; your transplant team will interpret the antibody profile—including strength and specificity—against donor availability to determine the safest path forward.
إجابة سريعة: يشير وجود الأجسام المضادة لـ HLA أو MICA إلى ضرورة تقييم التوافق قبل الزراعة، ويُمكن التعامل معها عبر بروتوكولات إزالة التحسس والمقارنة الافتراضية لضمان فرص زراعة ناجحة.
Q2: Why is only a recipient sample needed, and why must I provide a brief clinical history?
Quick Answer: The Luminex X-Map assay exclusively screens recipient serum for pre-formed antibodies; no donor cells are required for the antibody detection phase. A brief clinical history—such as previous transplants, pregnancies, or transfusions—is essential to correctly interpret antibody specificities and avoid misclassifying naturally occurring antibodies as donor-reactive.
إجابة سريعة: الفحص يحتاج فقط عينة من المتلقي لرصد الأجسام المضادة ولا يتطلب خلايا من المتبرع. تقديم موجز سريري عن عمليات زرع سابقة أو حمل أو نقل دم يساعد في تحديد دلالة الأجسام المضادة بدقة.
Q3: How do I arrange the 1800 AED home collection and verify direct insurance billing?
Quick Answer: Contact our UAE-based support via WhatsApp at +971 54 548 8731 to schedule a hospital-grade phlebotomist visit between 8 AM and 11 PM; same-day availability is often possible. Provide your insurance details immediately, and our team will verify direct billing eligibility within one hour, ensuring you only pay the deductible (if any) at the time of service.
