Anti-dsDNA antibody test in Bhubaneswar
What the test measures
The level of antibodies directed against double-stranded DNA in the blood.
When your doctor may order it
- A positive ANA with symptoms that suggest lupus
- Monitoring people already diagnosed with lupus, especially lupus nephritis
- Checking response to treatment
Understanding the result
A positive anti-dsDNA strongly supports lupus. Rising levels with falling C3/C4 can signal a flare. A negative result does not rule lupus out, as many people with lupus never have these antibodies.
This page gives general information. Your result must be interpreted by your doctor together with your symptoms and examination.
Seeing a rheumatologist?
Lupus is managed long-term by OARC’s rheumatologists, with regular monitoring tests at Immunix Labs.
