What is Phospholipase A2 Receptor Antibody IgG?

This test detects specific IgG antibodies targeting the Phospholipase A2 Receptor (PLA2R) in your blood. These antibodies are strongly associated with a specific autoimmune kidney disease called primary membranous nephropathy.

Why is this test important?

The presence of these antibodies helps diagnose primary membranous nephropathy and differentiate it from other kidney conditions. It also aids in monitoring disease activity and response to treatment, guiding clinical management.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required.
