What Is an HLA-B27 Test?
HLA-B27 is a protein found on the surface of white blood cells. The test checks whether this antigen is present in your blood.
HLA-B27 is associated with a higher likelihood of certain inflammatory conditions, particularly a group of diseases called spondyloarthritis. However, having HLA-B27 does not mean that a person definitely has one of these diseases.
Why Is the HLA-B27 Test Done?
A doctor may recommend the test when evaluating symptoms such as:
- Persistent lower back pain
- Back stiffness
- Joint pain or swelling
- Pain around the hips or pelvis
- Unexplained inflammation
- Recurrent eye inflammation
- Symptoms suggesting inflammatory arthritis
The test is generally interpreted along with symptoms, physical examination and other investigations.
HLA-B27 and Ankylosing Spondylitis
HLA-B27 is strongly associated with ankylosing spondylitis, an inflammatory form of arthritis that mainly affects the spine and joints between the spine and pelvis.
However, being HLA-B27 positive does not automatically mean that you have ankylosing spondylitis. Many people who carry HLA-B27 never develop the condition, and ankylosing spondylitis can also occur in people who do not carry HLA-B27.
Other Conditions Associated With HLA-B27
HLA-B27 may also be associated with several other inflammatory conditions, including:
- Ankylosing spondylitis
- Reactive arthritis
- Psoriatic arthritis
- Arthritis associated with inflammatory bowel disease
- Sacroiliitis
- Certain types of uveitis
Positive and Negative HLA-B27 Results
HLA-B27 Positive
A positive result means that the HLA-B27 antigen is present.
It may increase the likelihood of certain inflammatory conditions, particularly when the person has compatible symptoms. However, a positive result does not confirm a diagnosis by itself.
HLA-B27 Negative
A negative result means that HLA-B27 was not detected.
A negative result does not completely rule out inflammatory arthritis or other related conditions because these conditions can occur in people who are HLA-B27 negative.
Who May Need an HLA-B27 Test?
A healthcare professional may recommend HLA-B27 testing when someone has symptoms that could indicate spondyloarthritis or another related inflammatory condition.
The test may be particularly useful when evaluating unexplained long-term back pain, joint inflammation or other symptoms associated with these conditions.
Is Fasting Required for HLA-B27?
No special preparation is usually required for an HLA-B27 blood test. A blood sample is collected from a vein, commonly from the arm.
If other blood tests are being performed at the same time, follow the preparation instructions given by your healthcare provider or laboratory.
How Is the HLA-B27 Test Done?
A small blood sample is collected from a vein and sent to the laboratory for analysis. The test determines whether the HLA-B27 antigen is present.
