Test Overview
What is a Myositis Profile Test in Delhi?
The Myositis Profile Test in Delhi is a specialised blood test used to detect autoantibodies that target your muscles, helping identify autoimmune muscle diseases known as inflammatory myopathies. These conditions include polymyositis, dermatomyositis, and anti-synthetase syndrome, which can cause progressive muscle weakness, pain, fatigue, and, in some cases, skin rashes or breathing difficulties.
By identifying 16 different antibodies linked to myositis, this test gives doctors a clear picture of the underlying autoimmune activity, helping guide accurate diagnosis and personalised treatment.
A simple blood sample from your vein is required for this test.
What Does a Myositis Profile Test Measure in Delhi?
The Myositis Profile Test measures IgG autoantibodies that attack specific muscle-related antigens. Detecting these antibodies helps confirm autoimmune muscle inflammation and identify the type of myositis you may have.
- Autoantibody Detection: Screens for 16 muscle-specific autoantibodies including Jo-1, Mi-2, SRP, and TIF1.
- Subtype Identification: Helps differentiate between polymyositis, dermatomyositis, and overlap syndromes.
- Disease Association: Identifies antibodies linked to associated lung disease or malignancy.
- Treatment Guidance: Supports doctors in planning immunosuppressive therapy.
- Monitoring Disease Progression: Assists in tracking autoimmune activity and therapy response.
Who Should Consider a Myositis Profile Test?
You may be advised to take this test if you:
- Have unexplained or persistent muscle weakness or pain.
- Develop skin rashes such as a reddish-purple rash on your face or hands.
- Experience fatigue, difficulty swallowing, or breathing issues.
- Have symptoms suggesting autoimmune muscle disease.
- Are being evaluated for polymyositis, dermatomyositis, or anti-synthetase syndrome.
- Are already diagnosed and need monitoring of disease activity or treatment response.
What Is the Purpose of a Myositis Profile Test?
The Myositis Profile Test helps doctors diagnose inflammatory myopathies, differentiate subtypes, and guide appropriate therapy by identifying specific muscle-related autoantibodies. It also supports early detection of associated conditions like interstitial lung disease or autoimmune overlap syndromes.
