Find Clarity for Your Skin and Eye Health Concerns
When unexplained rashes, blisters, or eye irritation disrupt your life, it’s natural to feel anxious and uncertain. You deserve answers that go beyond surface symptoms to uncover the root cause of your discomfort. Our Direct Immuno-Fluorescence (DIF) Skin and Conjunctival Biopsy Complement C3 Test provides the definitive diagnosis you need to move forward with confidence and proper treatment.
Understanding Your Test: How DIF Reveals Hidden Autoimmune Conditions
This specialised test uses advanced fluorescence microscopy to detect complement C3 protein deposits in your skin or conjunctival tissue. When your immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissue, it leaves behind these tell-tale markers that our expert pathologists can identify with precision. Think of it as a microscopic detective that uncovers the hidden evidence of autoimmune activity that standard tests might miss.
Using cryoprocessing technology, we preserve your tissue sample in its natural state, ensuring the most accurate analysis possible. This method allows us to see exactly what’s happening at the cellular level, giving you and your doctor the clear information needed for effective treatment planning.
Who Should Consider This Important Test?
If you’re experiencing any of these concerning symptoms, this test could provide the answers you’ve been searching for:
- Unexplained skin blisters or erosions that don’t heal normally
- Persistent eye redness, irritation, or vision changes
- Skin rashes that resemble burns or appear after minor trauma
- Mouth sores or genital lesions without clear cause
- Previous inconclusive test results for skin or eye conditions
- Family history of autoimmune disorders affecting skin or eyes
