Test Details:
The STRIATED/SKELETAL MUSCLE ANTIBODY (ASKA) IFA test is a laboratory test used to detect the presence of autoantibodies against striated muscle in the blood. It is primarily used to aid in the diagnosis of certain autoimmune diseases, such as myositis and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
The test involves exposing the patient’s blood sample to a substrate containing striated muscle tissue. If the patient has developed autoantibodies against striated muscle, these antibodies will bind to the muscle tissue on the substrate. This binding can then be visualized using a fluorescent tag attached to a secondary antibody that specifically recognizes the patient’s autoantibodies.
A positive result in the ASKA IFA test indicates the presence of autoantibodies against striated muscle, suggesting the possibility of an autoimmune muscle disease. However, it is important to note that a positive result does not necessarily confirm a diagnosis, as other clinical and laboratory findings need to be considered.
The ASKA IFA test is usually performed by a specialized laboratory and requires a blood sample from the patient. It is typically ordered by a healthcare provider if they suspect an autoimmune muscle disease based on the patient’s symptoms and other clinical findings. The test results are interpreted by a trained laboratory professional and reported to the ordering healthcare provider.
