HLA B27 or Human leukocyte antigen B27 is a form of protein found on the surface of white blood cells. It is meant to protect the body from foreign agents. It identifies the healthy cells from the unhealthy ones that cause infection. When it detects a foreign cell, the HLA effectively destroys it to protect your body. However, sometimes it begins to attack the healthy blood cells in the body and causes dysfunction of the immune system. This causes autoimmune diseases such as ankylosing spondylitis.

The test detects the presence of the HLA-B27 gene on the white blood cells. The HLA antigens are unique in every person. A positive test result means that an individual is at a risk of developing an autoimmune disease. The normal range means that the patient is healthy.

The doctor recommends the HLA B27 test if you have symptoms such as joint pain, stiffness, and back pain. If you decide to do the test with Mediyaar, the HLA B27 test price is only at Rs. 2255/-.

Understanding the HLA B27 Test and its implications

HLA B27 Test helps in determining the HLA-B27 antigen in the blood. It is on the white blood cells. HLA B27 works as a protector of dangerous outside agents, such as bacteria and cancer cells. But in some cases, it attacks the healthy cells itself, causing diseases, namely, spondylarthritis.

The test helps to know the risk factors of autoimmune disorders. When the immune system attacks its own healthy cells and tissues, that’s when a problem arises. The presence of HLA B27 causes certain arthritis and inflammatory diseases. In women, the signs and symptoms of the diseases may show less than compared to men. Diseases associated with HLA B27 are also more frequent in men. But women are also at risk.

A routine checkup is recommended for everyone. But only those who are experiencing the symptoms for a long time should get the test done. The test, however, does not predict any development of an autoimmune disorder. It only detects the presence or absence of HLA B27 and calculates the risk of the disease. Genetic factors have a huge contribution to developing these diseases. A person having a family history of autoimmune disease must consider the test. To manage the levels of HLA B27, major lifestyle changes must be made.
