INSULIN ANTIBODIES HIGHLY SENSITIVE Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the Insulin Antibodies Highly Sensitive test, a diagnostic tool used to detect the presence of antibodies against insulin in a person’s blood.
Test Details
The Insulin Antibodies Highly Sensitive test is highly sensitive, meaning it can accurately detect even small amounts of insulin antibodies. Insulin antibodies are produced by the immune system in response to the introduction of exogenous insulin, which is commonly used to treat diabetes.
In some cases, the body may develop an immune response against the insulin, leading to the production of antibodies. The Insulin Antibodies Highly Sensitive test is primarily used to diagnose insulin autoimmune syndrome (IAS), a rare condition characterized by the presence of insulin antibodies that can cause hypoglycemia (low blood sugar levels).
This test can also be used to monitor the effectiveness of treatment in individuals with IAS. During the test, a blood sample is taken from the individual and sent to a laboratory for analysis. The sample is tested for the presence of insulin antibodies using specialized techniques, such as enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) or radioimmunoassay (RIA).
If the test result is positive for insulin antibodies, it indicates the presence of an immune response against insulin. It is important to note that the Insulin Antibodies Highly Sensitive test is not used to diagnose or monitor other types of diabetes, such as type 1 or type 2 diabetes. These conditions involve different mechanisms and do not typically result in the production of insulin antibodies.
Test Cost and Sample Condition
The cost of the Insulin Antibodies Highly Sensitive test is 2010.0 AED. To perform the test, a sample of 2 mL (1 mL min.) serum from 1 Red Top (No Additive) tube is required. It is important not to use SST gel barrier tubes. The serum should be separated within 1 hour of collection and shipped refrigerated or frozen. Additionally, a duly filled Test Send Out Consent Form is mandatory.
Report Delivery and Pre Test Information
The sample should be sent by the 7th of the month, and the report will be delivered after 2-3 weeks. It is important to note that a duly filled Test Send Out Consent Form is mandatory before conducting the test.
Test Type and Doctor
The Insulin Antibodies Highly Sensitive test falls under the category of Diabetes tests. It is recommended to consult a Physician or Diabetologist for this test.
Conclusion
The Insulin Antibodies Highly Sensitive test is a valuable tool in diagnosing and monitoring insulin autoimmune syndrome. It helps healthcare professionals determine the appropriate treatment and management strategies for individuals with this condition. If you suspect you may have insulin antibodies or are experiencing symptoms of IAS, we recommend consulting with a healthcare professional and considering the Insulin Antibodies Highly Sensitive test.
