HLA-B27 is a blood test to look for a protein that is found on the surface of white blood cells. The protein is called human leukocyte antigen B27 (HLA-B27). Human leukocyte antigens (HLAs) are proteins that help the body’s immune system tell the difference between its own cells and foreign, harmful substances.The HLA-B27 test is primarily ordered to help strengthen or confirm a suspected diagnosis of ankylosing spondylitis (AS), reactive arthritis, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA), or sometimes anterior uveitis.

The visionary Founder CEO MR.Sriram Iyer of Apollo Group identified this retail healthcare opportunity long before others and thus Apollo Clinics were established as a network. Since setting-up its first Clinic in 2002, AHLL has experienced significant growth and come a long way not only in terms of its geographical footprint and number of centres but also in the variety of formats it operates in today. The recent acquisition of Nova Specialty Hospitals by AHLL places the Company as the largest player in multi-specialty planned surgical centres in India. In the last 4 years, the business has expanded from 2 formats to 5 formats and established leadership in practically every segment that it operates in.

The most well-known and reliable method of assisted reproduction is in vitro fertilisation, which involves pairing up the egg and sperm in a lab environment such that fertilisation can occur outside of the female body. The resulting embryo is positioned on the uterine wall of the female, where it develops normally.

HSG treatment
An sophisticated imaging procedure called hysterosalpingography, or HSG, is used to check the fallopian tubes and uterus for any abnormalities.

Sperm retrieval
A key step in assisted reproduction is sperm retrieval, which entails taking healthy sperm samples from the male partner using a range of invasive and non-invasive methods.

Semen/Egg/Embryo freezing
For couples who wish to postpone having children for private or medical reasons, this is an option. To be thawed and used later, the sperm, eggs, and embryos are stored in an inactive, frozen state.

Oocyte vitrification
The quick cooling method is a sophisticated technology that enables a lady to store her eggs. By doing this, the likelihood of becoming a mother in the future is preserved.

Laser-assisted hatching
It is an innovative choice utilised in IVF operations that helps to boost the rates of embryo implantation by assisting the embryo in penetrating its shell.
