The Myositis Profile IgG - 16 Antigen is a blood test tailored to detect specific autoantibodies related to various forms of myositis, a condition that causes inflammation in muscles. This profile includes tests for antibodies against 16 muscle-specific antigens that are associated with different myositis subtypes, providing valuable information to guide diagnosis and treatment. It is widely available at an affordable price with Tata 1mg labs in Faridabad.

Consider getting tested for the Myositis Profile IgG - 16 Antigen if there are symptoms like muscle pain with inflammation and swelling, progressive muscle weakness, joint pain and stiffness, chest tightness or difficulty breathing, and difficulty swallowing.

Understanding Myositis Profile IgG - 16 Antigen

Myositis is an inflammatory muscle disorder marked by symptoms such as muscle pain, swelling, and stiffness. This condition occurs when the immune system produces autoantibodies that target specific muscle antigens, leading to muscle inflammation and damage. Early detection and accurate diagnosis are crucial for managing symptoms, preventing long-term damage, and determining the best treatment approach.

The Myositis Profile IgG - 16 Antigen helps identify specific autoantibodies present in the blood that are linked to various forms of myositis. The test includes antibodies against several antigens, such as Ro-52, Ku, Mi-2, Jo-1, MI-2 Beta, MDA5, SAE1, TIF1, NXP2, PL7, PL-12, EJ, OJ, PM-SCL 100, PM-SCL 75, and SRP. Each of these antigens is associated with different types of myositis, including dermatomyositis, polymyositis, and inclusion body myositis. By detecting these autoantibodies, the test helps differentiate between these subtypes, helping doctors with essential information to tailor treatment plans.

Consider getting tested for the Myositis Profile IgG - 16 Antigen if there are symptoms like muscle pain with inflammation and swelling, progressive muscle weakness, joint pain and stiffness, chest tightness or difficulty breathing, and difficulty swallowing. It can also be useful in monitoring the disease progression and assessing the response to treatments in patients diagnosed with myositis.

No special preparation is required for this test. Inform the doctor about all the medicines and supplements being taken, as some of them may affect the test results and need to be adjusted or temporarily discontinued before the test. 

Test result ranges may vary across laboratories. Abnormal test results require an expert interpretation. Therefore, never try to self-medicate at home based solely on these results. Always consult a doctor for a proper understanding of the test results.

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

What does Myositis Profile IgG - 16 Antigen measure?

Contains 16 tests

The Myositis Profile IgG - 16 Antigen checks for autoantibodies that attack specific proteins involved in muscle inflammation and autoimmune muscle diseases. These autoantibodies target important components of muscle tissue, helping doctors diagnose different types of myositis. The test looks for 16 specific antigens, including Ro-52, Ku, Mi-2, Jo-1, Mi-2 Beta, MDA5, SAE1, TIF1, NXP2, PL7, PL-12, EJ, OJ, PM-SCL 100, PM-SCL 75, and SRP. By detecting these autoantibodies, the test provides critical information on the type of myositis, helping doctors monitor disease progression and treatment efficacy. These markers also help determine if other organs, like the lungs or heart, are involved, allowing for a comprehensive approach to managing the disease.

Ro-52

The Ku antibody test is used to detect antibodies against the Ku protein, which is involved in DNA repair and other cellular processes. These antibodies are associated with certain autoimmune diseases, particularly systemic sclerosis, polymyositis and overlap syndrome such as MIxed Connective tissues disease( MCTD). This test is not commonly prescribed as other autoimmune tests but it is useful in diagnosing and differentiating between autoimmune conditions when patients presents with overlapping symptoms like muscle weakness, joint inflammation etc. The presence of Ku antibodies, along with clinical findings and other laboratory tests, helps doctors tailor treatment plans and better understand the patient's autoimmune profile.

The Mi-2 test checks for the presence of autoantibodies that target the Mi-2 nuclear antigen, a protein involved in gene regulation and muscle function. This test is used to help diagnose idiopathic inflammatory myopathies, such as Dermatomyositis (DM) and Polymyositis (PM), which are autoimmune diseases that cause muscle weakness and skin rashes. A positive result indicates the presence of Mi-2 antibodies, suggesting one of these conditions. A negative result means that the antibodies are not found, making these diseases less likely, but it doesn't completely rule them out. Additional tests may be needed for a more accurate diagnosis.

The Jo-1 test is used to detect antibodies against the JO-1 protein, which plays a role in muscle and tissue function. Jo-1 antibody is a myositis-specific autoantibody most commonly found in patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM). This test is primarily used to help diagnose IIM, particularly Dermatomyositis (DM) and Polymyositis (PM). It can be considered a specific marker of IIM, predominantly found in these conditions. The test is also associated with Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD), Raynaud phenomenon, arthritis, and mechanic's hands. A positive result suggests the presence of anti-synthetase syndrome (a rare autoimmune disease that affects multiple systems of the body) or a higher risk of myositis (muscle inflammation). A negative result means the antibodies are not detected, but it does not completely rule out the diagnosis of idiopathic inflammatory myositis. Further tests may be needed for a definitive diagnosis.
