The Anti-Parietal Cell Antibody (APCA) with Titre test is a quantitative blood test that detects and measures the concentration (titre) of antibodies directed against the parietal cells of the stomach lining. These antibodies target cells responsible for producing stomach acid and intrinsic factor, which is vital for vitamin B12 absorption.
The titre value helps determine the severity or extent of the autoimmune response, aiding in diagnosis and monitoring of conditions like autoimmune gastritis and pernicious anemia.
