With a comprehensive panel of tests, we can detect and evaluate the presence of specific antibodies and proteins associated with SLE.
Test Components
- ANA (Antinuclear Antibody)
- ds-DNA Antibody
- Sm Antibody
- Phospholipid Antibody IgG
- Phospholipid Antibody IgM
Price
The cost of the SLE SYSTEMIC LUPUS ERYTHEMATOSUS PANEL Test is AED 970.0.
Sample Condition
For this test, we require 4 mL (2 mL minimum) serum from 1 SST. Please ensure that the sample is shipped refrigerated or frozen.
Report Delivery
Your sample will be collected on Tuesday or Friday by 9 am, and you can expect to receive the report on the same day.
Method
The SLE SYSTEMIC LUPUS ERYTHEMATOSUS PANEL Test is performed using the EIA (Enzyme Immunoassay) method.
Test Type
This test is specifically designed for the diagnosis and monitoring of autoimmune disorders, such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
Doctor
This test is typically ordered by a rheumatologist, who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of rheumatic diseases.
Test Department
The SLE SYSTEMIC LUPUS ERYTHEMATOSUS PANEL Test is conducted in our dedicated Test Department.
Pre Test Information
No special preparation is required before undergoing the SLE SYSTEMIC LUPUS ERYTHEMATOSUS PANEL Test.
Test Details
The SLE (Systemic Lupus Erythematosus) panel test is a blood test used to diagnose and monitor the autoimmune disease called systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). This panel consists of several different tests that help detect and evaluate the presence of specific antibodies and proteins associated with SLE. The tests included in the SLE panel may vary depending on the laboratory, but they commonly include:
- Antinuclear Antibody (ANA) Test: This test detects the presence of antibodies that target the nucleus of cells. ANA is positive in the majority of people with SLE.
- Anti-DNA Antibody Test: This test measures the levels of antibodies that target DNA, which are commonly found in individuals with SLE.
- Anti-Sm Antibody Test: This test detects antibodies against Sm proteins, which are specific to SLE and present in about 30-40% of individuals with the disease.
- Anti-Ro/SSA and Anti-La/SSB Antibody Tests: These tests detect antibodies against Ro/SSA and La/SSB proteins, which are associated with SLE and other autoimmune conditions.
- Complement Levels Test: This test measures the levels of complement proteins in the blood. Decreased complement levels, specifically C3 and C4, are commonly seen in individuals with active SLE.
- Complete Blood Count (CBC): This test provides information about the number and types of blood cells, which can help identify any abnormalities associated with SLE.
- Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) Test: This test measures the rate at which red blood cells settle in a tube, indicating the presence of inflammation in the body.
- C-reactive Protein (CRP) Test: This test measures the levels of CRP, a protein produced by the liver in response to inflammation.
These tests, when used together, can help confirm the diagnosis of SLE and assess disease activity and severity. It is important to note that a positive result on these tests does not necessarily mean a person has SLE, as false positives can occur. A healthcare provider will consider the test results along with the individual’s symptoms and medical history to make an accurate diagnosis.
