Class I Antibody Detection (PRA%)
The Class I antibody detection test measures the percentage of panel reactive antibodies (PRA) against Class I antigens, which are used in organ transplantation. Higher PRA percentages indicate a higher likelihood of transplant rejection.

- Percentage Of Hla Class I Antibodies Present In Recipient
This test detects panel reactive antibodies (PRA) against HLA Class I antigens, primarily used to evaluate sensitization levels in transplant candidates.
This test is recommended for:
- Patients awaiting organ transplantation.
- Individuals with a history of multiple transfusions or pregnancies.
- Monitoring patients for anti-HLA antibody formation post-transplant.
A blood sample is analyzed using flow cytometry or Luminex technology to detect the presence of anti-HLA Class I antibodies.
- High PRA percentage: Indicates high sensitization and increased risk of organ rejection.
- Low PRA percentage: Suggests a lower risk of rejection.
It helps assess the risk of transplant rejection and guides immunosuppressive therapy.
