ANTI DS DNA ANTIBODY

The Anti-dsDNA test measures the level of antibodies directed against the double-stranded DNA in the body. Elevated levels of these antibodies are highly specific for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), an autoimmune disease where the immune system attacks the body’s own tissues. This test is used to diagnose and monitor lupus and assess disease activity. A blood sample is required for this test, and the results can help guide treatment and manage lupus symptoms.
