Detail Description

HLA-B27 QUALITATIVE PCR Test: Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Cost

HLA-B27 is a human leukocyte antigen (HLA) that plays a critical role in the body's immune system. The HLA-B27 gene is present in less than 10% of the general population but is found in a much higher percentage of people with certain autoimmune diseases. The HLA-B27 QUALITATIVE PCR test is a diagnostic tool used to identify the presence of the HLA-B27 gene in an individual's DNA.

Symptoms of HLA-B27 Related Diseases

HLA-B27 related diseases are a group of autoimmune disorders that can cause inflammation in various parts of the body. The most common HLA-B27 related diseases are:

  • Ankylosing spondylitis
  • Reactive arthritis
  • Juvenile idiopathic arthritis
  • Psoriatic arthritis
  • Inflammatory bowel disease

The symptoms of HLA-B27 related diseases can vary depending on the specific condition. Common symptoms include:

  • Pain and stiffness in the back, neck, or hips
  • Pain and swelling in the joints
  • Eye inflammation
  • Skin rash or psoriasis
  • Diarrhea and abdominal pain

Diagnosis of HLA-B27 Related Diseases

HLA-B27 related diseases can be difficult to diagnose because symptoms can be similar to other conditions. A healthcare provider may order the HLA-B27 QUALITATIVE PCR test if they suspect a patient may have an HLA-B27 related disease. The test identifies the presence of the HLA-B27 gene in an individual's DNA, which can help support a diagnosis.

In addition to the HLA-B27 QUALITATIVE PCR test, a healthcare provider may also perform a physical exam, blood tests, and imaging tests to help diagnose an HLA-B27 related disease.

Cost of the HLA-B27 QUALITATIVE PCR Test

The cost of the HLA-B27 QUALITATIVE PCR test can vary depending on the laboratory and location. In India, the test typically costs around INR 4500. Some insurance plans may cover the cost of the test, so it's important to check with your healthcare provider and insurance carrier.

Conclusion

The HLA-B27 QUALITATIVE PCR test is a valuable diagnostic tool for identifying the presence of the HLA-B27 gene in an individual's DNA. If you are experiencing symptoms of an HLA-B27 related disease, talk to your healthcare provider about whether the test may be right for you. With early diagnosis and treatment, many HLA-B27 related diseases can be managed effectively.

An HLA-B27 test is a blood test that identifies HLA-B27 proteins.

  • Should everyone have an HLA-B27 test done?
