Test Details
The endomysial antibody IgA IFA in dilutions test is a diagnostic test used to detect the presence of antibodies in the blood that are associated with celiac disease. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder where the ingestion of gluten triggers an immune response that damages the lining of the small intestine.
The test involves diluting the patient’s blood sample and then incubating it with a substrate that contains endomysial antigen. If the patient has celiac disease and has developed antibodies against the endomysial antigen, these antibodies will bind to the antigen in the substrate. This binding is then visualized using fluorescent microscopy.
The test is typically performed using a 1:5 dilution of the patient’s blood sample. A positive result is indicated by the presence of bright green fluorescence in a reticular or granular pattern, indicating the presence of endomysial antibodies. A negative result is indicated by the absence of fluorescence.
The endomysial antibody IgA IFA in dilutions test is highly specific for celiac disease and is considered the gold standard for diagnosing the condition. However, it is important to note that a positive result does not confirm a diagnosis of celiac disease, and further testing, such as a small intestine biopsy, may be required for confirmation.
