Find Clarity About Your Skin and Joint Symptoms
When your body starts sending confusing signals – skin tightening, joint discomfort, or digestive changes – it’s natural to feel concerned and uncertain. The Scl-70 Scleroderma Antibody Test provides the answers you need to understand what’s happening and take control of your health journey. For just ZAR 450, you can get the clarity that leads to proper management and peace of mind.
Understanding Your Scl-70 Test
This specialised blood test detects antibodies that target the Scl-70 protein, which are strongly associated with systemic sclerosis (scleroderma). When your immune system mistakenly produces these antibodies, it can lead to the skin thickening, joint issues, and internal organ involvement characteristic of scleroderma. Our advanced Enzyme Immunoassay technology ensures highly accurate detection, giving you and your doctor reliable information for making informed healthcare decisions.
Who Should Consider This Test?
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, this test could provide important answers:
- Unexplained skin thickening or tightening, especially on fingers and face
- Persistent joint pain or stiffness without clear cause
- Raynaud’s phenomenon (fingers turning white or blue in cold)
- Digestive issues like heartburn or difficulty swallowing
- Shortness of breath or persistent cough
- Family history of autoimmune conditions
Many South Africans initially dismiss these symptoms as normal aging or stress, but early detection can significantly improve treatment outcomes.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Getting tested early provides several crucial benefits:
- Peace of Mind: Either rule out scleroderma or get an early diagnosis for proper management
- Treatment Planning: Early detection allows for more effective treatment strategies
- Prevention: Identify potential complications before they become serious
- Quality of Life: Proper management can help maintain your daily activities and comfort
- Cost Savings: Early intervention often reduces long-term healthcare costs
Understanding Your Test Results
We know waiting for results can be anxiety-provoking. Here’s what to expect:
Positive Result: Indicates the presence of Scl-70 antibodies. This doesn’t automatically mean you have active scleroderma, but it provides important information for your rheumatologist to consider alongside your symptoms and other tests.
Negative Result: Suggests Scl-70 antibodies aren’t present, which can help rule out this specific form of scleroderma. However, your doctor will consider all factors in your diagnosis.
Remember: This test is one piece of the puzzle. Your doctor will interpret results in the context of your complete health picture.
