Intrinsic Factor Antibody Test in Sanand

Sterling Accuris provides the Intrinsic Factor Antibody Test in Sanand, to identify Intrinsic Factor Antibodies in the blood, which are immune system-produced antibodies associated with pernicious anemia.
Overview of the Intrinsic Factor Antibody Test
These antibodies are proteins generated by the immune system, specifically associated with pernicious anemia. Intrinsic factor, a protein produced by specialized cells known as parietal cells, is necessary for vitamin B12 absorption in the small intestine. In the absence of the intrinsic factor, vitamin B12 cannot be absorbed, leading to anemia, neutropenia, and thrombocytopenia. Pernicious anemia is mainly an autoimmune condition, where the immune system of a person attacks the body's own tissues and develops antibodies against the parietal cells and/or intrinsic factor.
The detection of intrinsic factor antibodies in the bloodstream is a critical test for diagnosing this condition. Sterling Accuris offers a reliable Intrinsic Factor Antibody Test in Sanand.
Why and When is an Intrinsic Factor Antibody Test Done?
Identifying intrinsic factor antibodies in the bloodstream is crucial for prompt diagnosis and medical intervention in preventing further damage.
A doctor will recommend this test if the following signs are exhibited:
- Fatigue
- Paleness
- Tingling in hands and feet
- Abnormally large RBCs (detected during a Complete Blood Count)
Sterling Accuris offers the Intrinsic Factor Antibody Test in Sanand with reliable and timely reports.

FAQs
Does a negative report always mean that the person does not have pernicious anemia?
It is important to note that a negative test result for pernicious anemia does not always guarantee that an individual is in the clear. A significant proportion of those who are affected with pernicious anemia do not exhibit IF antibodies, which means that they may require further testing. In such cases, health practitioners may recommend conducting a parietal cell antibody test to aid in arriving at an accurate diagnosis.
Can a person eliminate intrinsic factor antibodies from the body?
Unfortunately, intrinsic factor antibodies cannot be eliminated as they are produced by your immune system and are not influenced by lifestyle modifications. Nevertheless, the affiliated vitamin B12 deficiency can be suitably addressed and monitored by a vitamin B12 supplement.
