What does Anti ds-DNA Antibody, EIA measure?
The Anti ds-DNA Antibody, EIA test assesses the presence of autoantibodies (antibodies that attack the body's own cells) against double-stranded DNA (ds-DNA), which are closely associated with autoimmune activity, particularly in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). By detecting whether these autoantibodies are present in the blood, the test provides valuable insights into the immune system's behavior. A positive result suggests an abnormal immune response that may be targeting the body's own DNA, indicating a potential autoimmune disorder. This test helps doctors evaluate the likelihood of SLE and other related conditions, guiding further diagnostic and treatment decisions.
