INDIVIDUAL TEST 100

GBM Antibodies (IgG4)

Indication

Follow-up analysis of Goodpasture’s syndrome, GPA, and other reno-pulmonary syndromes. It may indicate patients who should be monitored very closely and may predict relapses.

Method

ELISA with specific GP antigen and IgG4-subclass specific monoclonal antibodies. The test is performed on serum.

Result

The result is given as arbitrary units (units per mL). Reference interval: <7 units/mL negative.

Interpretation

Antibodies against GBM are usually dominated by IgG1, but all subclasses can be present. There have been reports of isolated presence of IgG4 subclass antibodies in cases with severe lung disease with or without mild kidney damage.

ENSKILD ANALYS 100

GBM antikroppar (IgG4)

Indikation

Uppföljningsprov vid Goodpasture syndrom, GPA samt andra renopulmonella syndrom. Kan indikera patienter som bör följas extra noga samt förutsäga återfall.

Metod

ELISA med specifika GP antigen och IgG4-subklass specifika monoklonala antikroppar. Analysen utförs i serum.

Resultat

Resultatet anges som arbiträra enheter (enheter/mL). Referensintervall: <7 enheter/mL negativt.

Tolkning

Antikroppar mot GBM domineras vanligen av IgG1, men alla subklasser kan förekomma. Isolerad förekomst av antikroppar av IgG4-subklass har rapporterats vid allvarlig lungpåverkan utan eller med mild njurskada.
