Infliximab Antibody Test: Ensure Your Biologic Treatment Works Effectively
If you’re living with chronic inflammatory conditions like Crohn’s disease, rheumatoid arthritis, or ulcerative colitis, you know how crucial effective treatment is for maintaining your quality of life. When infliximab therapy starts losing its effectiveness, it can feel frustrating and concerning. Our Infliximab Antibody Test provides the clarity you need to understand why your treatment might not be working as expected.
Understanding the Infliximab Antibody Test
Infliximab is a powerful biologic medication that helps control inflammation in autoimmune conditions. However, sometimes your immune system may recognise this medication as foreign and produce antibodies against it. These antibodies can reduce the drug’s effectiveness, leading to treatment failure and symptom flare-ups.
Our test detects these specific antibodies, giving you and your healthcare provider valuable information about why your treatment might not be working optimally. This knowledge empowers you to make informed decisions about your therapy journey.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if you’re experiencing:
- Return of symptoms despite regular infliximab infusions
- Decreased response to treatment over time
- Need for higher doses to achieve the same effect
- Frequent flare-ups of your condition
- Planning to switch or adjust your biologic therapy
If you’re receiving infliximab for Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, or ankylosing spondylitis, this test can provide critical insights into your treatment effectiveness.
