Your Path to Successful Organ Transplantation Starts Here
Facing organ transplantation can feel overwhelming, but having the right genetic information makes all the difference. The HLA Pre-Transplant Workup is your essential first step toward a successful kidney or liver transplant, providing the critical genetic matching data that helps prevent organ rejection and ensures the best possible outcome for your life-saving procedure.
Understanding Your HLA Pre-Transplant Test
This specialised test analyses specific genetic markers called Human Leukocyte Antigens (HLA) that determine compatibility between organ donors and recipients. Think of it as a genetic “handshake” – when the donor and recipient’s HLA markers match well, the transplanted organ is much more likely to be accepted by your body without complications.
Our advanced Luminex X-Map technology provides highly precise genetic analysis, giving your transplant team the detailed information they need to make informed decisions about your care.
Who Needs This Essential Transplant Test?
This test is specifically designed for patients preparing for:
- Kidney transplantation due to end-stage renal disease
- Liver transplantation for chronic liver conditions
- Patients identified as non-sensitized recipients (no previous exposure to foreign HLA antigens)
- Individuals with family members or compatible donors willing to donate
- Patients on transplant waiting lists in South Africa
Why This Test Matters for Your Transplant Success
Getting the right genetic match significantly improves your transplant outcomes by:
- Reducing rejection risk – Proper matching lowers the chance of your body rejecting the new organ
- Improving long-term success – Better matches lead to longer-lasting transplant function
- Reducing medication needs – Well-matched organs often require lower doses of anti-rejection drugs
- Providing peace of mind – Knowing you have the best possible match reduces anxiety about the procedure
- Supporting faster recovery – Properly matched organs typically lead to smoother recovery periods
Understanding Your Test Results
Your results will provide detailed HLA typing information that your transplant specialist will use to:
- Determine compatibility with potential donors
- Calculate matching scores for different donor options
- Plan the most appropriate immunosuppression therapy
- Make informed decisions about transplant timing and preparation
Our medical team ensures your results are clearly explained, and we work closely with your healthcare providers to support your transplant journey every step of the way.
