Post-Transplant Donor Cell Tracking Analysis

North Carolina rates for HCPCS 81268

This laboratory analysis compares genetic markers between a transplant recipient and their donor to determine what proportion of the recipient's blood-forming cells came from the donor after a bone marrow or stem cell transplant. It helps clinicians monitor whether the donor's cells have successfully taken hold, or whether the patient's original cells are returning, which can be an early sign of relapse. It may involve sorting out specific cell types before the comparison is made.
