Test Details
The ASCA (Anti-Saccharomyces cerevisiae antibody) panel is a blood test that measures the levels of IgA and IgG antibodies against Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a type of yeast. This test is primarily used in the diagnosis and management of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), particularly Crohn’s disease.
Approximately 60-70% of patients with Crohn’s disease have been found to have elevated levels of ASCA antibodies. The test involves drawing a blood sample from the patient, which is then sent to a laboratory for analysis. The levels of IgA and IgG antibodies against Saccharomyces cerevisiae are measured using specific techniques, such as enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
Elevated levels of ASCA antibodies, particularly IgG, can help support a diagnosis of Crohn’s disease, especially in patients with unclear symptoms or when other diagnostic tests are inconclusive. However, it is important to note that the presence of ASCA antibodies alone is not sufficient to diagnose Crohn’s disease, as some healthy individuals and patients with other conditions may also have elevated levels.
The ASCA panel test is typically ordered by a gastroenterologist or other healthcare provider specializing in IBD. The results of the test, along with other clinical findings and diagnostic tests, are used to aid in the diagnosis and management of Crohn’s disease.
