The Anti-dsDNA Antibody Test detects antibodies against double-stranded DNA, which are commonly associated with autoimmune diseases like Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE).

This test is used to diagnose SLE, monitor disease activity, assess treatment response, and differentiate between autoimmune diseases.

No special preparation is needed. You can eat and drink normally. Inform your healthcare provider about any medications or health conditions.

Results are typically available within 1 to 2 days after the test.

A positive result suggests the presence of antibodies associated with autoimmune activity, particularly in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE). Further evaluation is often required to confirm the diagnosis and assess disease activity.

A Holter monitor is a portable device used to continuously record the electrical activity of the heart over 24 to 48 hours, capturing data during daily activities.

A Holter monitor helps detect and diagnose irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmias) that may not be captured during a standard ECG.

The monitor is attached to the patient with electrodes placed on the chest. It records heartbeats continuously while the patient carries out normal activities.

Patients experiencing symptoms such as palpitations, dizziness, fainting, or irregular heartbeats may require Holter monitoring to assess their heart’s electrical activity over an extended period.

Holter monitoring typically lasts 24 to 48 hours, depending on the doctor’s recommendation and the specific monitoring objectives.

Recovery time varies, with most patients experiencing significant improvement within a few weeks and full results visible within a few months.
