Anti Islet Cell Antibodies With Titre

4,000.00

The Anti-Islet Cell Antibodies (ICA) test detects and measures antibodies against the islet cells of the pancreas. These cells produce insulin, and the presence of these antibodies indicates an autoimmune attack against pancreatic islet cells, which is a hallmark of Type 1 diabetes mellitus.
The titre value quantifies the level of these antibodies, helping to assess the extent of autoimmune activity.
