High-Resolution Tissue-Type Test, Single Marker

Louisiana rates for HCPCS 81381

This is a detailed genetic test that examines one specific immune-system marker gene at high resolution, most often used before a bone marrow, stem cell, or organ transplant to see how closely a donor's tissue type matches the recipient's. Fine-grained matching on these markers helps predict how well a transplant will be tolerated. The test is run on a blood sample.
