The results for HLA B27 testing typically take about 1 to 2 weeks to return. This can vary depending on the laboratory's processing time and the specific testing methods used. In some cases, results may be available sooner, particularly if the test is conducted in-house at a medical facility. Always consult with your healthcare provider for the most accurate time frame based on your specific situation.

HLA B27 is a specific protein found on the surface of cells that plays a crucial role in the immune system. It is part of the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) system, which helps the body recognize foreign substances. The presence of HLA B27 is associated with certain autoimmune conditions, particularly ankylosing spondylitis and other spondyloarthritis. Individuals with this antigen may have an increased risk of developing these disorders, although not everyone with HLA B27 will experience them.
The HLA â?? B27 test costs about 30 US dollars. This test helps in diagnosing suspected diseases like reactive arthritis.
HLA-B27
This is a blood test to detect the presence of HLA-B27 in white blood cells. The test is conducted to look for specific protein found on the surface of white blood cells. The protein is called human leukocyte antigen B27 (HLA-B27) that help the body's immune system tell the difference between its own cells and foreign, harmful substances. The test is referred when you have symptoms of chronic inflammation, pain, and stiffness in certain areas of your body, such as your back, neck, and chest, or eyes, especially if you are male. A positive test means HLA-B27 is present. It suggests a greater-than-average risk for developing Ankylosing spondylitis, Reiter syndrome or Sacroiliitis (inflammation of the sacroiliac joint). If HLA-B27 is not present, then the association is not there.

The utility of HLA-B27 teating depends on the pretest probability of disease.
To the best of my Knowledge there is no cure for this type of arthritis. Go to the associated link below ''ankylosing spondylitis" for more information.

HLA typing either by serologic (blood fluid) or DNA methods is reported as the phenotype for each HLA loci tested. The antibody screen test is reported as the percentage of panel reactive antibodies (PRA).
