Anti microsomal antibody

Microsome Antibody Anti-microsomal antibodies react with the cytoplasm of the gland, while anti-thyroglobulin reacts with the colloid.

Dayan, ... Peter Taylor, in Clinical Biochemistry: Metabolic and Clinical Aspects (Third Edition), 2014 Antibodies to thyroid peroxidase (TPOAb) Originally known as thyroid microsomal antibodies, these antibodies are found in almost all (95%) patients with autoimmune hypothyroidism secondary to Hashimoto thyroiditis early in the course of the disease, and in some patients with other autoimmune thyroid diseases. The antibodies are polyclonal and their target antigen has been identified as the thyroid peroxidase enzyme, which plays critical roles in thyroid hormone synthesis. These antibodies are frequently present in individuals with subclinical hypothyroidism as well as in 2–5% of biochemically euthyroid women (rising to over 10% over the age of 70). The prevalence of these antibodies is lower in men, but also increases with age, being present in 2.5% of the male population aged over 75. They may play a pathogenetic role in some patients with destructive autoimmune thyroid disease, as they have been shown both directly to fix complement on the thyrocyte and to direct cell-mediated cytotoxic reactions against thyrocytes, but ...

Thyrocare Technologies Limited is India’s first and most advanced Totally Automated Laboratory having its strong presence in more than 2000 cities / towns in India and internationally. It operates with a Centralized Processing Laboratory (CPL) in Mumbai – India for esoteric tests; and Regional Processing Laboratory in major metro cities of India and other parts of Asia.

A positive test may be due to: • • Hashimoto thyroiditis (a reaction of the immune system against the thyroid gland) High levels of these antibodies have also been linked with an increased risk of: • Miscarriage • • Premature birth • Important: A positive result does not always mean that you have a thyroid condition or that you need treatment for your thyroid. A positive result may mean that you have a higher chance of developing thyroid disease in the future. This is often associated with a family history of thyroid disease. Antithyroid microsomal antibodies may be seen in your blood if you have other autoimmune conditions, including: • • • Autoimmune adrenal disease • • • Chang AY, Auchus RJ.

Description Anti LKM autoantibodies are differentiated from anti-mitochondrial antibodies using indirect immunofluorescence on stomach, kidney and liver tissue. Anti mitochondrial antibodies stain distal renal tubules whereas anti LKM antibodies do not – both stain proximal tubules. Anti LKM antibody is not a unique entity, it compasses 3 types of anti LKM antibody, namely anti LKM-1, anti LKM-2, and anti LKM-3 (δ agent). These can be distinguished from each other by unique immunofluorescent staining patterns.LKM-1 is found on cells in the third portion of the proximal renal tubules and on hepatocytes. (May also react with cells in bronchial, oesophageal and duodenal epithelium). The immunofluorescent (IF) of anti LKM-2 is highly characteristic with liver centrilobular distribution in male mouse liver, heterogenity of the third portion of the proximal renal tubule and fetal liver negativity. For detection of LKM-3, IF staining requires testing on human pancreas, this shows exocrine positivity, unlike any of the other anti LKM antibodies (Ab’s). LKM antibodies are found only in a small number of patients with autoimmune chronic active hepatitis and drug induced hepatitis, but are highly specific. Anti-LKM-1 antibodies react with a protein identified as cytochrome P450 11D6. The 66kD band was shown to be NADPH cytochrome (P450) reductase – a microsomal enzyme catalysing the oxidase metabolism of a variety of drugs such as antihypertensives (debrisoquine), β blockers (bufural...

1 - 3 days Turnaround time is defined as the usual number of days from the date of pickup of a specimen for testing to when the result is released to the ordering provider. In some cases, additional time should be allowed for additional confirmatory or additional reflex tests. Testing schedules may vary.
