What is Amyloid A?

The Amyloid A test measures the level of Serum Amyloid A (SAA) protein in your blood. SAA is an acute-phase reactant, meaning its levels rise rapidly in response to inflammation or infection.

Why is this test important?

This test is used to monitor inflammatory conditions, especially those associated with amyloidosis, a rare disease where abnormal protein builds up in organs. It helps assess disease activity and the effectiveness of treatment in chronic inflammatory states.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required.
