HLA DR4 DRB104 Test
Introduction to the HLA DR4 DRB104 Test
The HLA DR4 DRB104 Test is a specialized genetic test designed to detect specific human leukocyte antigen (HLA) markers associated with various autoimmune diseases. Understanding these markers is crucial for diagnosing conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and other related disorders. Early detection can lead to more effective management and treatment options, enhancing patient outcomes.
What the Test Measures
This test measures the presence of the HLA DR4 and DRB104 alleles in your blood. These genetic markers are linked to an increased risk of developing autoimmune diseases, making this test a valuable tool for individuals at risk.
Who Should Consider This Test?
Individuals experiencing symptoms such as joint pain, fatigue, or other autoimmune-related symptoms should consider this test. Additionally, those with a family history of autoimmune diseases may benefit from early screening.
Benefits of Taking the Test

- Facilitates early diagnosis and intervention.
- Informs treatment decisions and management strategies.
- Provides peace of mind for patients and their families.
Understanding Your Results
Your test results will indicate the presence or absence of the HLA DR4 and DRB104 markers. A positive result may suggest a higher risk of developing autoimmune diseases, while a negative result can provide reassurance.
