Autoimmune Disease Tests
Autoimmune disease is a group of chronic conditions with no cure in
which the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy cells and tissues. There are
as many as 80 types of autoimmune diseases, including rheumatoid
arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease. systemic lupus erythematosus, psoriasis, celiac
disease. It's estimated that 5 to 8 percent of
people in the United States are living with an autoimmune disease.
The exact cause of autoimmune disorders remains unknown. One theory is
that some microorganisms (such as bacteria or viruses), drugs or other irritants may act as triggers for immune system
losing the ability to distinguish between self and non-self. When this happens, the body makes auto-antibodies that can attack the
normal cells and tissues by mistake.
By
testing the autoantibodies, the mistakenly recognized self-antigens or even the
triggering microorganisms, the following products of Creative Diagnostics can
aid the diagnosis of autoimmune disease:
• RF (serum/plasma/tissue) | • Calprotectin (stool) |
• Calprotectin-Lactoferrin | • Celiac disease (Whole blood) |
• CCP antibodies (serum) | • tTG, gliadin |
