Which antigen determines the compatibility of an organ transplant?
HLA antigens (of which there are many types) are one of many antigen types withwhich matching is attempted. There are many cell surface antigens which are of concern in organ matching. And of each antigen type, there are often multiple differentsubtypes. Thus 'identical' matches are very rare. One exception is between identicaltwins, one of which is the donor, and the other is the recipient. Because of difficulty inobtaining 'perfect' matches, organ recipients generally must take immunosuppressivemedications long term. These prevent their own immune system from 'attacking' the transplanted organ, causing rejection. Non-the-less, they are not always effective.However, with good medical care by docs versed in organ transplantation, rejectioncan often be prevented.HLA = Human Leukocyte Antigen ; important not only in transplantation, but also inautoimmune diseases, i.e. SLE (lupus), rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosingspondylitis, many othersOne example : HLA B27 (assoc with ankylosing spondylitis)Antigens are proteins which are attached to the cell surface, thus are available fordetection by immune cells, antibodies, and other immune mediators
What is micro albumin?
Micro: Tiny, very small amount. Albumin: A protein playing a very important role in the blood. A microalbumin test checks urine for the presence of a protein called albumin. Albumin is normally found in the blood and filtered by the kidneys. When the kidneys are working properly, albumin is not present in the urine. However, when the kidneys are damaged, small amounts of albumin leak into the urine. This condition is called microalbuminuria. Microalbuminuria is most often caused by kidney damage from diabetes. However, many other conditions can lead to kidney damage, such as high blood pressure, heart failure, cirrhosis, or systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). If early kidney damage is not treated, larger amounts of albumin and protein may leak into the urine. This condition is called macroalbuminuria or proteinuria. When the kidneys spill protein, it can mean serious kidney damage is present. This can lead to chronic kidney disease. A microalbumin urine test can be done on a sample of urine collected randomly (usually after the first time you urinate in the morning), a sample collected over a 24-hour period, or a sample collected over a specific period of time, such as 4 hours or overnight. A microalbumin urine test is done to check for protein (albumin) in the urine. Early detection may change treatment in an effort to preserve as much kidney function as possible.
