Anti Reticulin Antibody, IgM
Short Name: RETI-MSample required: SerumResult Time:
Read moreShort Name: RETI-GSample required: SerumResult Time: 1 Days Anti-reticulin antibodies are directed against the connective tissue component of reticulin and are associated with celiac disease. It is considered as the third useful marker for following celiac disease, the first two being anti-gliadin and anti-endomysial antibodies. Anti-reticulin antibodies are not as specific or sensitive as the
Read moreShort Name: PLATESample required: SerumResult Time: 1 Days Many antigen systems are present on platelet membranes, including ABO, HLA, and PLA1. Antibodies to platelets may be directed to any of these antigens and may be either alloantibodies or autoimmune antibodies. Alloantibodies are antibodies that a person makes against foreign antigens, usually after transfusion or pregnancy.
Read moreShort Name: PHOS-MSample required: SerumResult Time: 1 Days Antiphospholipid antibody tests are used to detect several specific phospholipid-binding proteins that the body produces against itself in an autoimmune response to phospholipids. Their presence increases the risk of developing recurrent inappropriate blood clots (thrombi) in arteries and veins, which can lead to strokes and heart attacks.

Read moreShort Name: PARSample required: SerumResult Time: 1 Days Parietal cells, or oxyntic cells, are the stomach epithelium cells that secrete gastric acid and intrinsic factor. Intrinsic factor is needed to absorb vitamin B12. Antiparietal cells antibodies (APCA) test is used to measure the presence of antibodies against the parietal cells of the stomach. Gastric parietal
Read moreShort Name: ISLETSample required: SerumResult Time: 1 Days Islet cell antibodies (ICA) have been associated with “autoimmune” endocrine disorders and insulin-dependent diabetes. This disorder is characterized by the presence of antibodies in patients that may be detected years before the onset of the clinical symptoms. Two auto-antigens recognized by ICA were identified; Glutamic Acid Decarboxylase
Read moreShort Name: OVERSample required: SerumResult Time: 1 Days Anti ovarian antibodies are typically found in women with premature ovarian failure (POF). Up to 70% of women with this condition have large amounts of anti ovarian antibodies in their bloodstream. Premature menopause and unexplained infertility are also associated with ovarian antibodies. Women with Addisons Disease, thyroid

Read moreShort Name: ANCA-cSample required: SerumResult Time: 1 Days Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCAs) are a group of mainly IgG antibodies against antigens in the cytoplasm of neutrophil granulocytes (the most common type of white blood cell) and monocytes. They are detected as a blood test in a number of autoimmune disorders, but are particularly associated with
