LE Cell Phenomenon near me in Thane









The LE Cell Phenomenon is a blood test that detects the presence of lupus erythematosus (LE) cells, which are abnormal cells that signal an autoimmune disease activity. This test is a useful aid in diagnosing systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and other autoimmune diseases causing similar symptoms. It is widely available with Tata 1mg labs at an affordable price in Thane.
The LE Cell Phenomenon test is recommended when there are symptoms that are suggestive of lupus or some other autoimmune disorders such as joint pains and swelling, skin rashes, recurrent fever, swollen glands, dry eyes, swollen glands, chronic fatigue among others. This test is particularly significant for rheumatologists diagnosing lupus when other tests like ANA (antinuclear antibody) and anti-dsDNA tests are not conclusive. In addition to that, it may also be used for monitoring the progression of the disease in individuals who already have lupus, helping doctors to check disease remission or active flare-up.
No special preparation is required for the LE Cell Phenomenon. Eat and drink as per your daily routine.








What does LE Cell Phenomenon measure?
The LE Cell Phenomenon test determines the presence of lupus erythematosus (LE) cells that are either neutrophils or macrophages (type of white blood cells) containing phagocyted material in their nuclei. These abnormal cells appear when the immune system mistakenly attacks the body's own cells, a condition seen in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
A positive test result gives the information to evaluate the disease activity and supports lupus or related autoimmune disease diagnosis. Moreover, by showing LE cells in the blood, the test aids in the diagnosis of SLE and other autoimmune diseases, thus helping develop a personalized treatment plan.
