Test Overview & Methodology
This serum-based ELISA profile detects IgG autoantibodies against desmoglein 1 (DSG1), desmoglein 3 (DSG3), BP180, BP230, and other cutaneous basement membrane antigens, providing a comprehensive diagnostic tool for autoimmune blistering disorders such as pemphigus vulgaris, bullous pemphigoid, and linear IgA disease.
| Feature | Our Test (ELISA Panel) | Closest Alternative (Direct IF Biopsy) |
|---|---|---|
| Methodology | Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (EIA), ISO 9001:2015 accredited | Direct immunofluorescence on skin biopsy |
| Sensitivity | 95–99.9% for target antigens | 80–95% (depends on biopsy site/transport) |
| Turnaround Time | Same day (sample drawn Wed/Fri by 11 AM) | 5–7 working days |
| Patient Experience | Home blood draw, no discomfort | Punch biopsy, local anesthesia, sutures |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
As a general practitioner with extensive experience in autoimmune disease screening, I recognise the diagnostic uncertainty that blistering skin conditions can create. This IgG profile offers a reliable, non-invasive pathway to identify circulating autoantibodies, enabling timely specialist referral and targeted therapeutic planning. Laboratory findings should always be interpreted within the complete clinical context.
A positive result provides strong serological evidence for an autoimmune blistering disorder; however, a negative result does not definitively exclude disease activity. Correlate all findings with dermatological assessment and histopathology when indicated.
Our team is committed to supporting your diagnostic journey. Never alter or discontinue prescribed medications without formal clinical consultation.

Important Advisory
Do not discontinue prescribed medication (e.g., oral corticosteroids, immunosuppressants) without consulting your doctor.
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Patients currently on high-dose IVIg or plasmapheresis (may transiently alter antibody levels).
- Acute febrile illness or systemic infection that could confound immune complex interpretation.
- Seek immediate dermatological emergency care if: blisters spread rapidly, involve mucous membranes (mouth, eyes, genitals), or you develop signs of secondary infection (fever, pus, red streaks).
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What does a positive Autoimmune Bullous Dermatoses IgG result mean?
A positive result indicates the presence of circulating IgG autoantibodies targeting skin adhesion proteins, strongly correlating with active pemphigus or pemphigoid when combined with clinical findings. Always discuss results with your referring physician for comprehensive interpretation.
2. How should I prepare for the blood draw?
No special preparation is required; you can eat and drink normally. Please inform our phlebotomist of all medications and supplements beforehand to ensure accurate result interpretation.
3. How fast will I receive my results and who interprets them?
Samples collected on Wednesday or Friday before 11 AM receive same-day reports. A complimentary tele-consultation with our DHA-licensed clinical team ensures you understand the findings and their implications for your care.
