Myositis Profile (11 Antigens)

This test detects a panel of autoantibodies associated with idiopathic inflammatory myopathies, such as polymyositis and dermatomyositis.

It helps diagnose autoimmune muscle diseases and classify subtypes for more personalized treatment approaches.

A blood sample is collected and analyzed using immunoblot or ELISA methods to detect antibodies like anti-Mi-2, anti-Jo-1, and others.

Positive results support a diagnosis of myositis and may indicate the subtype, aiding treatment decisions and prognosis.

No special preparation is needed. A simple blood draw is sufficient.
