Overview

The purpose of the Autoimmune ILD Panel Test is to detect specific antibodies associated with autoimmune interstitial lung disease. The panel includes: *ANA / ANF (Antinuclear Antibody) via IFA on HEP-2 cells with reflex to ENA Profile, *ANCA (Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody) via IFA in dilutions, *ANTI CCP (Anti-Cyclic Citrullinated Peptide), *RA Factor (Rheumatoid Factor) in serum, and *ACE (Angiotensin Converting Enzyme). These tests help identify autoimmune activity targeting the lungs, assist in diagnosis, monitor disease progression, and inform treatment decisions.

Understanding Your Results

Results from the Autoimmune ILD Panel Test indicate the presence or absence of specific antibodies. Positive results suggest autoimmune activity that may be contributing to lung disease, while negative results may indicate other causes.
Positive ANA/ANF: May indicate autoimmune conditions like systemic lupus erythematosus or scleroderma, which can affect the lungs.
Positive ANCA: Associated with vasculitis disorders such as granulomatosis with polyangiitis, which can involve the lungs.
Positive Anti-CCP or RA Factor: Suggests rheumatoid arthritis, which may have pulmonary manifestations.
Elevated ACE: Can be seen in sarcoidosis, an autoimmune condition that often affects the lungs.
All results should be correlated with clinical history, symptoms, and imaging findings for accurate diagnosis.
⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult a doctor if you experience persistent respiratory symptoms such as dry cough, shortness of breath, chest pain, or unexplained fatigue, especially if you have a history of autoimmune diseases.

Limitations

  • ⚠This panel does not cover all possible causes of ILD; additional tests may be needed
  • ⚠Results should be interpreted in conjunction with clinical symptoms and imaging

Risks & Considerations

  • ●Minor bruising or soreness at the blood draw site
  • ●Rare risk of infection or dizziness

Interfering Factors

  • ●Certain medications (e.g., immunosuppressants) may affect antibody levels
  • ●Recent infections or vaccinations could influence results

What parameters are included in this panel?
The panel includes ANA/ANF, ANCA, Anti-CCP, Rheumatoid Factor, and ACE tests, which are key markers for autoimmune activity targeting the respiratory system.
How is the test performed?
A blood sample is drawn from your arm via venipuncture and analyzed in a laboratory using advanced techniques like CMIA, IFA, and immunoblot.
Is fasting required for this test?
No, fasting is not required. No special preparation is needed before the test, though you should inform your doctor about any current medications.
What is the cost of the Autoimmune ILD Panel Test?
The test costs INR 12,000, which includes free home sample collection across many cities in India.
How long does it take to get the results?
Results are typically available within 24 hours after sample collection, delivered via online portal, email, or WhatsApp.
What do abnormal results indicate?
Abnormal results may suggest an autoimmune condition affecting the lungs, such as lupus, vasculitis, rheumatoid arthritis-related lung disease, or sarcoidosis, but require correlation with clinical symptoms and imaging.
Are there any risks associated with this test?
The risks are minimal, including slight bruising or discomfort at the blood draw site. Serious complications are extremely rare.
How should I prepare for the test?
No special preparation is needed. Inform your doctor about any medications you are taking, as certain immunosuppressants might affect antibody levels.
