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.

Surgery may be needed if you have significant symptoms, such as pelvic pressure, urinary or bowel problems, or a visible bulge, and other treatments have not been effective.

Common side effects include a sore throat, difficulty swallowing, and mild discomfort. These symptoms are generally manageable with pain medication and a soft diet.
