AChR Blocking Antibody Test in San Francisco, California

Same day and Affordable AChR Blocking Antibody Test, Locations Nationwide

Concerned that you or someone you know may have an autoimmune disease? Request A Test offers the convenient and affordable AChR Blocking Antibody Test in San Francisco, CA. This test measures the level of Acetylcholine Receptor (AChR) Blocking Antibodies in a blood sample. AChR antibodies are a type of autoantibody produced by the immune system which mistakenly targets proteins in the muscles. These proteins, called acetylcholine receptors, allow communication between nerve and muscle fibers. Damage to these proteins caused by AChR antibodies can cause muscle fatigue. AChR antibodies are associated with the autoimmune disorder Myasthenia Gravis (MG). People with myasthenia gravis typically experience symptoms such as drooping eyelids, slurred speech, difficulty holding up their head, difficulty breathing, difficulty walking, and weakness in muscles throughout the body. 

There are 3 types of AChR antibodies that each affect the receptor proteins in different ways. Blocking antibodies are found in about 50% of people with MG. They sit on the receptors and prevent acetylcholine from binding. The other 2 types are Binding and Modulating antibodies. Individual tests are available for these. The Myasthenia Gravis Panel is a test which measures the levels of all three.
