PHOSPHOLIPASE A2 RECEPTOR ANTIBODY PLA2R QUANTITATIVE Test
Test Details
The Phospholipase A2 Receptor Antibody (PLA2R) Quantitative Test is a laboratory test used to detect and measure the levels of PLA2R antibodies in the blood. PLA2R is a protein found on the surface of kidney cells, and the presence of PLA2R antibodies is associated with certain kidney diseases, such as primary membranous nephropathy.
During the test, a blood sample is collected from the patient and sent to a laboratory for analysis. The test measures the quantity of PLA2R antibodies in the blood, which can help in diagnosing and monitoring the progression of primary membranous nephropathy. Higher levels of PLA2R antibodies generally indicate a higher likelihood of the disease.
The PLA2R antibody test is considered a specific and sensitive marker for primary membranous nephropathy and is often used in conjunction with other clinical and laboratory tests to aid in diagnosis and treatment decisions. It can help differentiate primary membranous nephropathy from secondary causes and guide the management of the disease.
It is important to note that the PLA2R antibody test is not used for screening purposes and is typically ordered by a healthcare provider when there is a suspicion of primary membranous nephropathy based on symptoms, such as proteinuria (protein in the urine) and abnormal kidney function tests. The test results, along with other clinical information, can help guide treatment decisions and monitor the response to therapy.
