About the Hla B27 Flow Cytometry Test
Human Leukocyte Antigens are proteins in the blood cells. HLA B27 keeps away foreign agents that cause infections and diseases. It protects the immune system by identifying unhealthy cells. Most HLAs are necessary for the body, but HLA B27 attacks the immune system and causes dysfunction. The presence of this protein is harmful for the body and attacks its own healthy blood cells. This causes autoimmune diseases.
If you experience any signs or symptoms such as chronic pain in the back or inflammation, you can take the test. The testing involves drawing blood and evaluation of the HLA B27 presence in the blood. The HLA B27 test price in Salem will cost you only Rs. 1918/-.

Possible Effects of Blood Collection
A routine blood draw is low risk. You may feel a brief sting when the needle goes in, and some people notice temporary bruising, soreness or light-headedness afterwards. Fainting and infection are uncommon. The sample is collected at your home by a trained phlebotomist using sterile equipment, and the draw takes only a few minutes. If you feel unwell during or after collection, tell the phlebotomist or speak to your doctor.
- Avoid self-medication, as it can affect the test results.
