HLA Pre-Transplant Workup for Sensitised Recipient Panel 5 Test

Your Path to Safe Organ Transplantation Starts Here

Facing an organ transplant can feel overwhelming, especially when you’ve been told you’re ‘sensitised’ – meaning your immune system has developed antibodies that could reject a donor organ. This isn’t just another test; it’s your safeguard against transplant failure. At Oracle Genomics, we understand the anxiety and hope that comes with waiting for a life-saving transplant, and we’re here to provide the clarity and confidence you need to move forward safely.

Understanding Your HLA Pre-Transplant Screening

This specialised test examines three critical components of your immune response:

• HLA DNA Typing – Identifies your specific tissue type for kidney or liver transplant matching
• Flow Cytometry Cross Match – Tests how your immune cells react against potential donor cells
• Single Antigen Bead Testing – Precisely identifies which HLA antibodies could cause organ rejection

Think of this as your transplant safety net – it ensures that when the call comes for your transplant, you and your medical team have all the information needed to proceed with confidence.

Who Absolutely Needs This Critical Screening?

This test is essential if you:

• Have had previous blood transfusions, pregnancies, or organ transplants
• Are on dialysis and awaiting a kidney transplant
• Have been identified as having HLA antibodies through preliminary screening
• Are preparing for a living donor transplant from a family member
• Want to maximise your chances of transplant success and avoid rejection

Why This Matters for Your Transplant Success

Getting this right could mean the difference between a successful transplant that gives you years of healthy life, versus organ rejection that puts you back on the waiting list. Our testing provides:

• Peace of Mind – Know exactly what antibodies could threaten your transplant
• Better Matching – Help your medical team find the most compatible donor
• Reduced Rejection Risk – Identify and avoid donors that could trigger immune response
• Faster Transplant Process – Be prepared when a suitable donor becomes available
