Immunology
Autoimmune
Autoimmune tests detect antibodies in the blood that target the body’s own tissues, helping diagnose autoimmune disorders. These tests assist in identifying conditions like lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, thyroid disorders, celiac disease, vasculitis, and other immune-related diseases.
Included Tests:
|
· Anti–β2-Glycoprotein 1 IgG – IgM · Anti–Cardiolipin IgG – IgM · Anti–Phospholipid IgG – IgM · Anti–ds DNA IgG · Anti–MPO IgG · Anti–TPO IgG
|
· Anti–PR3 IgG · Anti–TTg IgA · Anti–CCP · ANA (Antinuclear Antibody) · ENA (Extractable Nuclear Antigen) |
Immunoglobulin
These tests evaluate the immune system and detect infections, inflammation, or autoimmune responses. They help diagnose allergic reactions, bacterial infections, and immune-related conditions.
Immunoglobulin Tests:
• IgE: Measures IgE levels in blood; helps assess allergic reactions and parasitic infections.
• IgG: Measures IgG antibodies; indicates past infections and immune memory.
• IgM: Measures IgM antibodies; indicates recent or active infections.
