Information about HLA-B27

B-HLA-B27 is a blood test that analyzes a genetic marker associated with the immune system. This marker is part of the HLA system (Human Leukocyte Antigen), which influences the body’s ability to distinguish between self and foreign cells. The HLA-B27 test is primarily performed to aid in the diagnosis of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases.

Why is it important to test for B-HLA-B27?

Testing for B-HLA-B27 can provide critical information about your health and assist doctors in diagnosing and treating certain diseases more effectively. If you experience symptoms such as chronic back pain, stiffness, swollen joints, or recurrent inflammation in the eyes or mucous membranes, this test can be an essential step in understanding the cause of your symptoms. The analysis may also be relevant for individuals with a family history of autoimmune diseases.

What diseases are associated with HLA-B27?

B-HLA-B27 is strongly linked to several inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, including:

Ankylosing Spondylitis: A chronic inflammatory disease affecting the spine.
Reactive Arthritis: A type of arthritis that develops following an infection in the body.
Psoriatic Arthritis: A form of arthritis affecting some individuals with psoriasis.
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD): Includes Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, where inflammation impacts the intestines.
Uveitis: Inflammation of the eye’s uvea, which can cause pain and vision problems.

Test Results and Interpretation

The results of a B-HLA-B27 test are typically available within 2-7 days. A positive result indicates the presence of the HLA-B27 marker, but it does not automatically mean you have an active disease. Instead, it signifies an increased risk for certain conditions. Your results should always be discussed with a doctor who can interpret them in the context of your symptoms and medical history.

Who should consider a B-HLA-B27 test?

The HLA-B27 test may be relevant if you:

Have recurrent or chronic back pain and stiffness, particularly in the morning.
Experience swollen or inflamed joints without a clear cause.
Have had episodes of eye inflammation, such as iritis or uveitis.
Have a family history of autoimmune diseases or inflammatory conditions.

If your test result indicates the presence of HLA-B27, it is important to:

Follow up with a doctor: Regular medical check-ups can help detect and manage any symptoms early.
Adopt lifestyle changes: Regular physical activity and an anti-inflammatory diet may help reduce inflammation levels.
Educate yourself about symptoms: Learn to recognize early signs of inflammatory conditions to take timely action.

Proteins are specific nutrients made up of several combined amino acids. In the body, there are over 10,000 different proteins that form the building blocks of all tissues and other body parts and are used in several important processes such as forming cells, enzymes and hormones.

B-HLA-B27 is an important biomarker analyzed through DNA extracted from leukocytes in whole blood. It is associated with several inflammatory diseases and is used to understand and diagnose various medical conditions.
