ENDOMYSIAL ANTIBODY IgA IFA Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the ENDOMYSIAL ANTIBODY IgA IFA Test for individuals who suspect they may have celiac disease. This diagnostic tool helps detect the presence of endomysial antibodies in the blood, which are typically found in individuals with this autoimmune disorder characterized by an intolerance to gluten.
Test Details
The ENDOMYSIAL ANTIBODY IgA IFA Test is performed using an Immunofluorescence Assay method. A small blood sample is taken from the patient and mixed with a tissue sample from the lining of the intestines. If the patient has celiac disease and is producing endomysial antibodies, these antibodies will bind to the tissue sample. The sample is then examined under a microscope, and if the endomysial antibodies are present, they will emit a fluorescent signal. This signal confirms the presence of the antibodies and indicates a positive result for celiac disease.
Components and Price
The cost of the ENDOMYSIAL ANTIBODY IgA IFA Test is 400.0 AED. The test requires a 2 mL (1 mL min.) serum sample from 1 SST. It is recommended to ship the sample refrigerated or frozen. Overnight fasting is preferred before taking the sample.
Report Delivery
Sample collection is done daily by 11 am, and the report is delivered on the same day.
Test Type and Doctor
The ENDOMYSIAL ANTIBODY IgA IFA Test falls under the category of Disorders of Gastrointestinal tract. It is typically ordered by a Gastroenterologist.
Test Department
The ENDOMYSIAL ANTIBODY IgA IFA Test is conducted in the Immunopathology department at DNA Labs UAE.
Pre Test Information
It is recommended to fast overnight before taking the ENDOMYSIAL ANTIBODY IgA IFA Test.
Diagnosis and Further Testing
The ENDOMYSIAL ANTIBODY IgA IFA Test is considered highly accurate, but a positive result does not necessarily confirm a diagnosis of celiac disease. Other conditions can also cause the production of endomysial antibodies. Therefore, further testing and evaluation by a healthcare professional, such as a Gastroenterologist, are typically required to make a definitive diagnosis.
If you suspect you may have celiac disease or have been advised by your doctor to take the ENDOMYSIAL ANTIBODY IgA IFA Test, contact DNA Labs UAE to schedule an appointment.

| Test Details | The Endomysial Antibody IgA IFA (Immunofluorescence Assay) test is a diagnostic tool used to detect the presence of endomysial antibodies in the blood. These antibodies are typically found in individuals with celiac disease, an autoimmune disorder characterized by an intolerance to gluten. During the test, a small blood sample is taken from the patient and mixed with a tissue sample from the lining of the intestines. If the patient has celiac disease and is producing endomysial antibodies, these antibodies will bind to the tissue sample. The sample is then examined under a microscope, and if the endomysial antibodies are present, they will emit a fluorescent signal. This signal confirms the presence of the antibodies and indicates a positive result for celiac disease. The Endomysial Antibody IgA IFA test is considered highly accurate and is often used in combination with other tests, such as the tissue transglutaminase (tTG) antibody test and the anti-gliadin antibody test, to confirm a diagnosis of celiac disease. It is important to note that a positive result on this test does not necessarily mean the individual has celiac disease, as other conditions can also cause the production of endomysial antibodies. Therefore, further testing and evaluation by a healthcare professional are typically required to make a definitive diagnosis. |
