Myositis Profile Test in Ghaziabad

What Does a Myositis Profile Test Measure in Ghaziabad?

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.
