Detailed Tissue Typing, Main Cell Markers

Rhode Island rates for HCPCS 81379

A blood test that reads a person's tissue type — the inherited identity tags carried on the surface of nearly every cell, which the immune system uses to tell its own tissue from foreign tissue. This version reads the main set of those tags at a fine level of detail, identifying the exact version of each rather than only the broad group it belongs to. It is used to match a donor and a recipient closely before a stem cell or organ transplant.
