Test Details:
The Phospholipase A2 Receptor Antibody (PLA2R) Qualitative Test is a diagnostic test used to detect the presence of antibodies against the phospholipase A2 receptor in the blood. This test is primarily used in the diagnosis and monitoring of autoimmune diseases, specifically primary membranous nephropathy (PMN).
PMN is a kidney disease characterized by the thickening of the glomerular basement membrane due to the deposition of immune complexes. The phospholipase A2 receptor is the main target antigen in approximately 70-80% of cases of PMN. Detecting antibodies against this receptor can help confirm the diagnosis of PMN and distinguish it from secondary causes of membranous nephropathy.
The PLA2R Qualitative Test is performed using a blood sample. The sample is tested for the presence of antibodies against the phospholipase A2 receptor using various techniques such as enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) or immunofluorescence. A positive result indicates the presence of antibodies against the phospholipase A2 receptor, suggesting a diagnosis of primary membranous nephropathy. However, it is important to note that a negative result does not rule out PMN, as there are cases where antibodies against the receptor are not detected.
The PLA2R Qualitative Test is a valuable tool in the diagnosis and management of primary membranous nephropathy, helping healthcare providers make informed treatment decisions and monitor disease progression.
