What are the prerequisites for the test Myositis Profile (11 Antigens)

  • 1. Patient must have symptoms suggestive of myositis, such as muscle weakness, muscle pain, fatigue, and elevated muscle enzymes.
  • 2. Patient must have a positive ANA (antinuclear antibody) test result.
  • 3. Patient must not have a known autoimmune disease, such as lupus or rheumatoid arthritis, that could confound the results of the test.
  • 4. Patient must not be currently taking immunosuppressive medications, as these can affect the results of the test.

What does this test Myositis Profile (11 Antigens) identify?

  • Myositis Profile (11 Antigens) identifies the presence of specific autoantibodies that are associated with inflammatory muscle diseases, such as dermatomyositis and polymyositis.
  • These autoantibodies target various cellular components within the muscles, including nuclear and cytoplasmic proteins.
  • By detecting the presence of these autoantibodies, the test can help in the diagnosis and monitoring of myositis, as well as in distinguishing between different subtypes of the disease.
  • Some of the antigens included in this profile are Jo-1, Mi-2, SRP, PL-7, PL-12, EJ, OJ, MDA5, TIF1-gamma, NXP2, and SAE.

Why is this test Myositis Profile (11 Antigens) taken?

Myositis Profile (11 Antigens) Test

The Myositis Profile (11 Antigens) test is taken to diagnose and monitor inflammatory myositis, a group of muscle diseases that cause chronic muscle inflammation and weakness. This test measures the levels of antibodies against 11 specific antigens that are associated with inflammatory myositis.

Some of the antigens included in this test are Jo-1, PL-7, PL-12, Mi-2, SRP, and EJ. Elevated levels of these antibodies may indicate the presence of inflammatory myositis and can help guide treatment and monitor disease progression.

It is important to consult with a healthcare provider to determine if the Myositis Profile (11 Antigens) test is necessary based on symptoms and medical history.
