Find Answers for Your Breathing Concerns
When every breath feels like a struggle and persistent coughs disrupt your daily life, it’s natural to feel concerned. Our Autoimmune Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) Panel is designed specifically for South Africans experiencing unexplained respiratory symptoms. This comprehensive test helps identify autoimmune conditions that may be affecting your lungs, giving you and your healthcare provider the clarity needed to move forward with confidence.
Understanding Your Autoimmune ILD Panel
This specialised panel examines five key markers that can indicate autoimmune involvement in lung disease:
- ANA/ANF with reflex to ENA Profile: Detects antinuclear antibodies that may indicate systemic autoimmune conditions
- ANCA: Identifies antibodies associated with vasculitis that can affect lung tissue
- Anti-CCP: Screens for rheumatoid arthritis-specific antibodies
- RA Factor: Tests for rheumatoid factor, another marker for rheumatoid arthritis
- ACE: Measures angiotensin-converting enzyme levels, important for sarcoidosis detection
Using advanced methods including CMIA, IFA, immunoblot, and immunoturbidimetry, we ensure the highest accuracy in every result.
Who Should Consider This Test?
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, this test could provide valuable insights:
- Persistent dry cough that won’t resolve
- Shortness of breath during routine activities
- Unexplained fatigue that affects your daily life
- Chest discomfort or tightness
- Joint pain or swelling alongside respiratory symptoms
- Family history of autoimmune conditions
- Previous abnormal chest X-rays or CT scans
Many South Africans initially dismiss these symptoms as ‘just getting older’ or ‘stress-related,’ but early detection can make a significant difference in treatment outcomes.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Getting answers early provides multiple benefits:
- Peace of Mind: Either rule out autoimmune involvement or identify it early
- Targeted Treatment: Specific results help your doctor create the most effective treatment plan
- Prevent Progression: Early intervention can help preserve lung function
- Reduce Uncertainty: Clear answers reduce the stress of not knowing what’s causing your symptoms
