Immunogenetics/HLA Laboratory

HLA Antibody Specificity-Monitoring (DSA Donor-Specific Antibody)

Specimen requirement: one 7-10cc clot tube (red top).
Transaction Code: 3083-17 or 3083-18
CPT Code (Suggested): 86807, 86021

Antibodies are monitored with a quantitative assay using flow cytometry and beads coated with recombinant or soluble HLA antigens from targeted alleles. Purposes of the test are to monitor patients after transplant for the appearance of antibodies to HLA antigens of the donor, and for monitoring the effects of antibody-reduction treatments in these patients.

If results are required within 12 hours, the Monitoring HLA Specific Antibody – STAT transaction code (3083-18) applies instead.
