What is ANTI DS DNA?

This test detects antibodies that target double-stranded DNA, a component of your own cells. It is a key marker used to help diagnose and monitor Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), an autoimmune disease.

Why is this test important?

Anti-dsDNA antibodies are highly specific for Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) and are often present in active disease. Monitoring their levels can help assess disease activity and response to treatment.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required.
