Find Answers for Your Digestive Health Concerns
Living with unexplained abdominal pain, persistent diarrhoea, or digestive discomfort can be overwhelming and isolating. You deserve clear answers and a path forward. Our ASCA Panel Test provides the medical insight needed to understand inflammatory bowel conditions, helping you and your doctor make informed decisions about your health journey.
Understanding Your ASCA Test
The ASCA (Anti Saccharomyces Cerevisiae Antibody) Panel is a specialised blood test that detects specific antibodies your immune system may produce in response to inflammatory bowel diseases. This test measures both IgA and IgG antibodies, providing comprehensive insight into whether your symptoms might be related to Crohn’s Disease rather than other digestive conditions.
Using advanced enzyme immunoassay technology, we deliver highly accurate results that help distinguish between different types of inflammatory bowel disease, giving your gastroenterologist valuable information for creating your personalised treatment plan.
Who Should Consider This Test?
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, this test could provide the answers you need:
- Persistent abdominal pain or cramping that doesn’t resolve
- Chronic diarrhoea lasting weeks or months
- Unexplained weight loss despite normal eating habits
- Blood in your stool or rectal bleeding
- Family history of inflammatory bowel disease
- Fatigue that interferes with daily activities
- Previous inconclusive digestive test results
Many South Africans struggle with digestive symptoms for years before receiving proper diagnosis. Early testing can help you avoid prolonged discomfort and potential complications.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Getting the right diagnosis early can significantly improve your quality of life and treatment outcomes. With accurate ASCA testing, you can:
- Receive targeted treatment sooner rather than generic approaches
- Reduce the risk of disease progression and complications
- Gain peace of mind knowing the exact nature of your condition
- Work with your doctor to create an effective management plan
- Avoid unnecessary medications or treatments
- Take control of your digestive health journey
