Pre-Transplant Workup Panel

The Pre Transplant Workup Panel measures various aspects related to the HLA system, such as HLA antibodies and compatibility between the donor and recipient. It also assesses other markers that contribute to successful transplantation.

• To assess the compatibility between an organ donor and recipient before transplantation • To reduce the risk of organ rejection • To identify potential matches for better transplant outcomes • To minimise complications during and after transplantation • To evaluate the immune response and compatibility between individuals

The Pre Transplant Workup Panel is recommended for • individuals who are considering organ transplantation, • individuals who have been identified as potential donors, or • patients with conditions such as end-stage organ failure who require a transplant.

Abnormal results from the Pre Transplant Workup Panel may indicate compatibility issues between the donor and recipient, increasing the risk of organ rejection.

During the Pre Transplant Workup Panel, blood samples will be collected from both the recipient and donor. The samples will be tested using advanced techniques.

Follow the instructions provided by your doctor or the laboratory for sample collection. Inform your doctor if you have any specific requirements.

• Blood tests to evaluate overall health and identify potential complications • Biopsy of the donor organ to assess its condition and compatibility

Organ transplantation is a surgical procedure where a healthy organ from a donor is surgically placed into a recipient's body. It is typically performed to replace a failing or damaged organ, such as the heart, liver, kidney, or lungs. Transplantation offers a chance at improved health and quality of life for patients with end-stage organ failure.
