NABL and NABH-accredited diagnostic centre  book your Anti-B Titre IgM Test at Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy one of the best Pathology and Diagnostic centre is offered at advanced level testing services. The Anti-B Titre IgM Test determines the amount of IgM antibodies specific for the B blood group antigen in the blood. It helps in the assessment of antibody levels of blood group-specific antibodies (before the transplant) and ABO blood group incompatibility in other medical conditions.

What Is Anti-B Titre IgM Test?

Anti-B Titre IgM Test is a laboratory test that detects the level of IgM antibodies against the B Blood group Antigen. This employs laboratory procedures with unique methods, in which the patient’s serum is mixed with red blood cells carrying the B antigen. The amount of dilution of the serum is determined by making successive dilutions of serum to obtain the highest serum dilution in which an antibody reaction is visible.

Common Reasons for Anti-B Titre IgM Test

• ABO-Incompatible Transplant Evaluation: Used for an organ transplant to determine the level of IgM anti-B antibody.
• Antibody Level Monitoring: Monitor fluctuations in the level of antibody to B (IgM) in transplant preparation or monitoring.
• Blood Group Incompatibility: To determine if there are antibodies and how strong they are against B blood group antigens.
• Treatment Planning: To supply information to help doctors select the right treatment plan before transplants.
• Immunological Assessment: To aid in evaluation of blood group-specific immune response for specific clinical situations.

Conditions and Clinical Situations Evaluated

ABO Blood Group Incompatibility

A useful test that can be used in individuals who don't have the B antigen on their Red Blood Cells, as a tool to evaluate IgM antibodies against blood group B antigens. These antibodies could have a role to play in the compatibility of a donor.

Pre-Transplant Immunological Assessment

For certain patients, anti-B IgM titre may be added to the pre-transplant work-up. It can help the physician when considering performing a transplant.

ABO-Incompatible Kidney Transplantation

The antibodies against the blood group antigens of the donor may be present in a recipient of an incompatible ABO kidney transplant. Tests of anti-B IgM titres are useful for assessing the antibody response and are used to decide the best pre-transplant management.

Blood Group-Specific Antibody Response.

Post-Transplant Antibody Monitoring

It is recommended that repeat antibody tests to identify new levels of antibodies to the blood group may be needed if it is suspected that there has been a change in terms of the antibody level, after transplantation or in selected cases to follow up.
