Know more about this test

The Intrinsic Factor Antibody test detects Immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies against intrinsic factor, which is crucial for vitamin B12 absorption. It helps identify pernicious anemia (an autoimmune cause of B12 deficiency). This test is available at an affordable price in Bareilly with Tata 1mg labs. 

Doctors may advise the Intrinsic Factor Antibody test if there are symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, numbness, or memory issues, or if there's clinical suspicion of B12 deficiency without dietary causes. It may be ordered alongside other tests like serum B12, methylmalonic acid (MMA), or homocysteine to confirm diagnosis. Early detection of intrinsic factor antibodies helps in initiating appropriate treatment and preventing long-term neurological complications due to prolonged vitamin B12 deficiency.

No special preparation is required for the  Intrinsic Factor Antibody test. You can eat and drink as per your daily routine.

Understanding Intrinsic Factor Antibody

Intrinsic factor (IF) is a glycoprotein produced in the stomach lining cells. IF binds to vitamin B12 and enables its absorption in the small intestine. The Intrinsic Factor Antibody test checks for the presence of autoantibodies that target this protein. These antibodies can reduce/block B12 absorption, leading to pernicious anemia, a common cause of vitamin B12 deficiency.

Doctors may advise the Intrinsic Factor Antibody test if there are symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, numbness, or memory issues, or if there's clinical suspicion of B12 deficiency without dietary causes. It may be ordered alongside other tests like serum B12, methylmalonic acid (MMA), or homocysteine to confirm diagnosis. 

Early detection of intrinsic factor antibodies helps in initiating appropriate treatment and preventing long-term neurological complications due to prolonged vitamin B12 deficiency.

No special preparation is required for the Intrinsic Factor Antibody test. Inform the doctor about all the medications and supplements currently being taken, as some of them may affect the test results. Your doctor may advise changes, if needed, before the test.

Test result ranges are approximate and may differ slightly between labs depending on the methodology and laboratory guidelines. Do not self-medicate and always consult a doctor to understand the test results correctly. 

Please note: This is an outsourced test. The sample is collected by TATA 1MG and processed at a NABL accredited partnered lab.
