DESMOGLEIN DSG 1 and 3 ANTIBODY Test
Cost: AED 1050.0
Test Details
The desmoglein (DSG) 1 & 3 antibody test is a diagnostic test used to detect the presence of autoantibodies against desmoglein 1 and desmoglein 3 proteins in the body. These proteins are found in the skin and are important for maintaining the integrity of the skin layers.
The test is primarily used in the diagnosis of autoimmune blistering disorders, such as pemphigus vulgaris and pemphigus foliaceus. These disorders are characterized by the presence of blisters and erosions on the skin and mucous membranes.
The DSG 1 & 3 antibody test involves taking a blood sample from the patient, which is then sent to a laboratory for analysis. The laboratory will test the sample for the presence of autoantibodies against desmoglein 1 and desmoglein 3 using techniques such as enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) or immunofluorescence.
A positive result indicates the presence of these autoantibodies, which is indicative of an autoimmune blistering disorder. Further clinical evaluation and additional tests may be necessary to confirm the diagnosis and determine the specific type of blistering disorder present.
It is important to note that the DSG 1 & 3 antibody test is just one component of the diagnostic process and should be interpreted in conjunction with the patient’s clinical presentation and other laboratory findings.
