The Diabetes Type 1 Autoimmune Profile Test is a comprehensive diagnostic tool designed to detect the presence of autoantibodies associated with Type 1 Diabetes. This autoimmune disorder is characterized by the body’s immune system mistakenly attacking and destroying insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas, leading to insulin deficiency and elevated blood sugar levels. The test typically looks for several key autoantibodies, including those against insulin, glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD), insulinoma-associated-2 (IA-2), and zinc transporter 8 (ZnT8).

Conducted at DNA Labs UAE, a facility renowned for its advanced diagnostic services and state-of-the-art technology, this test provides crucial information for the accurate diagnosis and management of Type 1 Diabetes. It is particularly valuable for distinguishing between Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes, guiding treatment decisions, and assessing the risk of developing this condition in individuals with a family history of Type 1 Diabetes or other autoimmune diseases.

The cost of the Diabetes Type 1 Autoimmune Profile Test at DNA Labs UAE is 2460 AED. This investment in health allows patients and healthcare providers to take proactive steps in managing the condition, potentially preventing the development of serious complications associated with uncontrolled blood sugar levels, such as cardiovascular disease, nerve damage, and kidney failure.

DIABETES TYPE 1 AUTOIMMUNE PROFILE Test

Welcome to DNA Labs UAE, where we offer the DIABETES TYPE 1 AUTOIMMUNE PROFILE Test. This test helps diagnose Type 1 diabetes, an autoimmune disease. Read on to learn more about the test components, cost, symptoms, diagnosis, and more.

Test Details

The DIABETES TYPE 1 AUTOIMMUNE PROFILE Test is a blood test that measures the presence of certain autoantibodies commonly found in individuals with Type 1 diabetes. The test includes the measurement of the following autoantibodies:

  1. Islet Cell Antibodies (ICA): These antibodies target the islet cells in the pancreas, responsible for producing insulin.
  2. Insulin Autoantibodies (IAA): These antibodies target insulin itself, interfering with its function.
  3. Glutamic Acid Decarboxylase Antibodies (GADA): These antibodies target an enzyme called glutamic acid decarboxylase, involved in insulin production.
  4. Zinc Transporter 8 Antibodies (ZnT8A): These antibodies target a protein called zinc transporter 8, which plays a role in insulin secretion.

The presence of these autoantibodies indicates an autoimmune response against the pancreatic islet cells, leading to their destruction and the subsequent development of Type 1 diabetes. This test helps differentiate Type 1 diabetes from other forms, such as Type 2 diabetes, which is primarily associated with insulin resistance rather than an autoimmune response.

Test Cost

The cost of the DIABETES TYPE 1 AUTOIMMUNE PROFILE Test is AED 2460.0.

Symptoms

Common symptoms of Type 1 diabetes include:

  • Increased thirst and frequent urination
  • Unexplained weight loss
  • Fatigue
  • Blurred vision
  • Slow-healing sores

Diagnosis

If you suspect you may have Type 1 diabetes, it is important to consult a Diabetologist or Physician. The DIABETES TYPE 1 AUTOIMMUNE PROFILE Test can help in the diagnosis process.

Sample Condition

A minimum of 3 mL serum from 1 SST is required for the test. The sample should be shipped refrigerated or frozen.

Report Delivery

The sample should be submitted by Friday at 9 am, and the report will be delivered the next day.

Method

The DIABETES TYPE 1 AUTOIMMUNE PROFILE Test is conducted using the Enzyme Immunoassay and IFA methods.

Pre Test Information

No special preparation is required before taking the DIABETES TYPE 1 AUTOIMMUNE PROFILE Test.

The test results can help differentiate Type 1 diabetes from other forms of diabetes, such as Type 2 diabetes.

It’s important to note that this test is not used for diagnosing Type 2 diabetes, as it is primarily associated with insulin resistance rather than an autoimmune response.
