Sterling Accuris offers the Centromere Antibody Test in Indore, for the diagnosis of systemic sclerosis (SSc), and to distinguish it from other autoimmune conditions.
Overview of the Centromere Antibody Test
The Centromere Antibody test is a blood test that helps evaluate certain autoimmune diseases, mainly systemic sclerosis. This test measures the presence of antibodies in the blood that target the centromere proteins, essential chromosome components. This test is also known as the CENP antibody test.
Sterling Accuris Diagnostics offers an accurate Centromere Antibody Test in Indore with timely reports.
Why And When Is The Centromere Antibody Test Done?
The Centromere Antibody Test is an essential diagnostic tool that checks for antibodies against centromeres, proteins that help separate chromosomes during cell division.
A doctor may recommend a Centromere Antibody test in case a person exhibits symptoms that include:
- Raynaud's phenomenon (fingers and toes turning white or blue in response to cold or stress)
- Skin thickening or hardening
- Dysphagia (difficulty swallowing)
- Gastrointestinal issues (acid reflux, bloating, and constipation)
- Shortness of breath

How to Interpret the Centromere Antibody Test Report
The table below shows the different levels and their parameters in individuals of all ages, including standard and elevated/low levels:
| Parameters | Normal range | Mild autoimmune disease | Severe autoimmune disease |
| Centromere Antibody Levels | Less than 1:40 | 1:40 to 1:80 | Higher than 1:80 |
If your test shows positive results, indicating the presence of anti-centromere antibodies in your blood, and you also experience symptoms of CREST, it is highly probable that you have limited cutaneous scleroderma, a type of systemic scleroderma.
On the other hand, if your test shows negative results, it is likely that your symptoms are caused by a different condition. However, it is important to note that although rare, it is still possible to have limited cutaneous scleroderma without producing anti-centromere antibodies, leading to a negative result.
The following reasons for abnormal centromere antibody levels are listed below:
- Systemic sclerosis
- Limited scleroderma
- Other autoimmune diseases like Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and Rheumatoid Arthritis
- Age and gender
