Centromere B Antibody Test in Alpine, Texas
Same day and Affordable Centromere B Antibody Test, Locations Nationwide
Are you or someone you know suffering from an autoimmune disorder? Request A Test offers the convenient and affordable Centromere B Antibody Test in Alpine, . This test measures the level of anticentromere B antibodies in a blood sample. Centromere B antibodies are a type of antinuclear antibody which are typically found in people with CREST syndrome (Limited cutaneous Systemic Sclerosis). CREST syndrome is a form of scleroderma, a connective tissue disease. CREST is named for the primary symptoms that it causes.
- Calcinosis – Calcium deposits forming under the skin
- Raynaud phenomenon – Decreased circulation in the fingers and toes, causing them to turn white and blue
- Esophageal dysfunction – Difficulty swallowing, acid reflux, and heartburn
- Sclerodactyly – Tight, thick, shiny skin developing on the hands and fingers
- Telangiectasia – Red spots that appear on the skin due to swollen capillaries
As much as 95% of people with CREST syndrome will test positive for centromere B antibodies. People with other forms of scleroderma, cirrhosis, rheumatoid arthritis and lupus have also been shown to produce centromere B antibodies. Centromere B antibody testing can aid in diagnosing CREST syndrome as well as differentiating it from other autoimmune disorders with similar symptoms.
This test may be ordered as a follow-up to a positive result on an antinuclear antibody (ANA) test.
