What is the CPT code for HLA typing?

CPT® 81370, Under HLA Typing The Current Procedural Terminology (CPT®) code 81370 as maintained by American Medical Association, is a medical procedural code under the range - HLA Typing.

What is HLA antigen?

A type of molecule found on the surface of most cells in the body. Human leukocyte antigens play an important part in the body's immune response to foreign substances. They make up a person's tissue type, which varies from person to person.

What is HLA typing group?

Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) typing is used to match patients and donors for bone marrow or cord blood transplants. HLA are proteins -- or markers -- found on most cells in your body. Your immune system uses these markers to recognize which cells belong in your body and which do not.

Is HLA typing a blood test?

How HLA testing is done. A sample of blood is taken by inserting a needle into a vein in your arm. Sometimes a swab of cells is taken from inside of your cheek (called a buccal swab) for testing. No special preparation is needed for either method.

Is HLA an antigen or gene?

The human leukocyte antigen (HLA) system or complex is a complex of genes on chromosome 6 in humans which encode cell-surface proteins responsible for the regulation of the immune system. The HLA system is also known as the human version of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) found in many animals.

How many HLA antigens are there?

There are three general groups of HLA, they are HLA-A,HLA-B and HLA-DR. There are many different specific HLA proteins within each of these three groups.

Is HLA typing tissue typing?

One of the tests you will have before you go on the waiting list is HLA typing, also called tissue typing. This test identifies certain proteins in your blood called antigens. Antigens are markers on the cells in your body, which help your body, tell the difference between self and non-self.

What are the 3 methods of HLA typing?

For typing of the HLA antigens there are used cellular, serological, biochemical and DNA methods.

How do you match HLA typing?

How does matching happen?You and potential donors will have blood drawn or will have the inside of your cheek swabbed.The blood or cheek swab is tested in a lab to figure out your HLA type.Your HLA type will be compared to potential donors to see if there is a match.

Is HLA class I typing genetic testing?

HLA (human leukocyte antigen ) typing is a kind of genetic test. HLA typing is sometimes called HLA matching. HLA typing looks at certain factors related to the immune system.

What is HLA typing AB or C?

HLA class I antigens (A, B, and C in humans) render each cell recognisable as “self,” whereas HLA class II antigens (DR, DP, and DQ in humans) stimulate the immune system. Both have been implicated in the rejection of transplanted organs. Three main processes are used to perform HLA typing.

What is the CPT code for HLA-B27?

There are two methodologies for running the HLA-B27 test: a serologic test using flow cytometry (CPT 86812) and a molecular test, which uses polymerase chain reaction (PCR) based methodology (CPT 81374).
