Test Details
The Insulin Antibodies Test is a blood test that measures the level of antibodies against insulin in the body. Insulin antibodies are produced by the immune system in response to the presence of exogenous insulin, which is injected to manage diabetes.
This test is mainly used to diagnose insulin autoimmune syndrome (IAS) or insulin allergy. IAS is a rare condition where the body produces antibodies against its own insulin, leading to insulin resistance and high blood sugar levels. Insulin allergy, on the other hand, is an allergic reaction to exogenous insulin, which can cause symptoms such as skin rashes, itching, and swelling at the injection site.
The Insulin Antibodies Test is typically ordered when a person with diabetes experiences unexplained high blood sugar levels or allergic reactions to insulin. It can help differentiate between IAS and other causes of insulin resistance, such as insulin receptor mutations or insulin receptor antibodies.
The test involves drawing a blood sample from the patient, which is then sent to a laboratory for analysis. Results are usually reported as a titer, which indicates the concentration of insulin antibodies in the blood.
It is important to note that this test is not routinely performed and is usually reserved for cases where there is suspicion of insulin allergy or IAS. It should be interpreted in conjunction with the patient’s clinical history and other diagnostic tests to make an accurate diagnosis and guide appropriate treatment decisions.
