Test Overview
What is a GAD Antibody Test in Hyderabad?
The GAD Antibody Test in Hyderabad is a specialized blood test that detects autoantibodies against the Glutamic Acid Decarboxylase (GAD65) enzyme, which is found in the pancreas. These antibodies indicate an autoimmune attack on insulin-producing beta cells, leading to Type 1 Diabetes or Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults (LADA).
This test helps doctors identify whether diabetes is autoimmune in nature or due to insulin resistance, guiding appropriate treatment such as early insulin therapy. It also helps detect autoimmune neurological conditions such as stiff person syndrome, cerebellar ataxia, and autoimmune encephalitis.
What Does a GAD Antibody Test Measure in Hyderabad?
The GAD Antibody Test in Hyderabad measures the level of autoantibodies targeting the GAD enzyme in your blood.
- Autoimmune Activity Detection: Identifies antibodies that damage pancreatic beta cells.
- Type Differentiation: Differentiates between Type 1, Type 2, and LADA diabetes.
- Risk Assessment: Predicts future insulin dependence in diabetic patients.
- Monitoring: Tracks autoimmune disease progression and guides therapy.
- Neurological Screening: Detects antibodies linked to autoimmune nervous system diseases.
