Antibody Test For Tissue Compatibility

Washington, DC rates for HCPCS 86830

This laboratory test looks for antibodies in the blood that react against tissue-matching markers, most often used in connection with organ or tissue transplantation. It helps determine how compatible a donor's tissue is likely to be with a recipient, or checks for antibodies that could raise the risk of rejecting a transplant already in place. A transplant specialist typically interprets the result as part of a broader evaluation.
