What does this test Intrinsic Factor Antibody Test identify?

Intrinsic Factor Antibody Test

The Intrinsic Factor Antibody Test is used to identify the presence of antibodies against intrinsic factor in the blood. Intrinsic factor is a protein produced by the stomach that is necessary for the absorption of vitamin B12 in the intestines.

This test is typically ordered when a person is showing symptoms of vitamin B12 deficiency, such as fatigue, weakness, numbness or tingling in the hands and feet, and difficulty concentrating. It is also used to help diagnose conditions such as pernicious anemia, which is a type of anemia caused by a lack of intrinsic factor.

A positive result on the Intrinsic Factor Antibody Test indicates that the person may have an autoimmune condition that is attacking the cells that produce intrinsic factor, leading to vitamin B12 deficiency. Further testing may be needed to confirm the diagnosis and determine the appropriate treatment.

Why is this test Intrinsic Factor Antibody Test taken?

The Intrinsic Factor Antibody Test is taken to diagnose pernicious anemia, a condition where the body is unable to absorb enough vitamin B12. Intrinsic factor is a protein that helps the body absorb vitamin B12 in the small intestine. If the body produces antibodies against intrinsic factor, it can lead to a deficiency in vitamin B12.

Common reasons for taking the Intrinsic Factor Antibody Test include symptoms of anemia such as fatigue, weakness, and pale skin, as well as neurological symptoms like numbness or tingling in the hands and feet. It may also be ordered if a person has a family history of pernicious anemia or has other autoimmune conditions.
