Discover the importance of the HLA-B27 blood test in diagnosing autoimmune disorders like ankylosing spondylitis and reactive arthritis. Book a home blood test in Delhi with SCD Homecare.
The HLA-B27 blood test identifies the presence of a specific protein — Human Leukocyte Antigen B27 — on the surface of white blood cells. This protein is part of your immune system, and its presence is linked with several autoimmune and inflammatory conditions, most notably ankylosing spondylitis (AS).
"Early diagnosis is half the cure — and HLA-B27 testing plays a key role in early detection of autoimmune diseases."
While HLA-B27 alone does not cause disease, people who test positive are at a significantly higher risk of developing certain autoimmune disorders. The test is particularly useful in:
Diagnosing ankylosing spondylitis
Identifying reactive arthritis
Supporting diagnosis of psoriatic arthritis
Evaluating chronic uveitis (eye inflammation)
Testing positive for HLA-B27 helps doctors confirm suspicions when symptoms like chronic back pain, joint stiffness, or eye inflammation are present.
Your physician may recommend this test if you are experiencing:
Chronic lower back pain beginning before age 45
Inflammatory joint pain, especially in the spine or hips
Unexplained eye redness or blurred vision
Family history of autoimmune diseases
It’s a simple blood test with no fasting required.
