DNAJB9 Immunohistochemistry Test in UAE – 230 AED
Executive Summary & Core Metrics
The DNAJB9 immunohistochemistry test is a specialized diagnostic tool for fibrillary glomerulonephritis, a rare kidney disease. This test uses a monoclonal antibody to detect DNAJB9 protein deposits in kidney biopsy tissue, enabling precise differentiation from other glomerular diseases and guiding nephrology management.

Test Overview & Methodology
DNAJB9 immunohistochemistry (IHC) is performed on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) kidney biopsy tissue using a validated monoclonal antibody. This method offers superior specificity over electron microscopy for diagnosing fibrillary glomerulonephritis.
| Feature | Our Test (DNAJB9 IHC) | Alternative (Electron Microscopy) |
|---|---|---|
| Precision | >99% specificity & sensitivity | ~85% specificity |
| Methodology | Immunohistochemistry on FFPE tissue | Electron microscopy (ultrastructural) |
| Turnaround | 5–7 days | 10–14 days |
| Price | 230 AED | 800–1500 AED |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
"DNAJB9 immunohistochemistry is the gold standard for confirming fibrillary glomerulonephritis, providing essential clarity for targeted treatment strategies. Patients should discuss biopsy risks and benefits thoroughly with their nephrologist."
— Mr. Prabhakar Reddy Kalathoor, Specialist Diagnostic Radiology, DHA License: 61713011
Advisory – Medication & Treatment
Do not discontinue or alter any prescribed medication unless explicitly advised by your consulting physician. The biopsy procedure requires medical clearance if you are on anticoagulants or have a bleeding disorder.
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- This test requires a kidney biopsy specimen; not applicable for blood or urine samples.
- Not indicated for patients with acute pyelonephritis or active urinary tract infection at the biopsy site.
- Seek immediate emergency care if you experience severe flank pain, fever >38°C, gross hematuria, or signs of anaphylaxis.
- Patients with bleeding diathesis or on anticoagulants must receive medical clearance before biopsy.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is the DNAJB9 immunohistochemistry test used for?
The DNAJB9 IHC test detects DNAJB9 protein in renal biopsy tissue to diagnose fibrillary glomerulonephritis accurately. It is a highly specific stain that distinguishes this condition from other glomerular diseases, enabling precise therapeutic decisions and prognosis counseling.
2. How should I prepare for the DNAJB9 IHC test?
No special preparation is required. The nephrologist collects a kidney biopsy under local anesthesia. You can resume normal activities after the biopsy as directed. Inform your physician of any medications, especially blood thinners.
3. What do the DNAJB9 IHC results mean?
A positive result confirms fibrillary glomerulonephritis; a negative result points to other renal pathologies. Your nephrologist will correlate the stain with clinical findings to guide management, which may include immunosuppression or supportive care.
