35.00 BGN
General information:
Parietal cell antibodies are autoantibodies, proteins produced by the immune system that mistakenly target a type of specialized cell that lines the stomach wall. This test detects these antibodies in the blood to diagnose pernicious anemia. Pernicious anemia is an autoimmune condition that can occur when the body's immune system targets its own tissues and develops antibodies directed against parietal cells. The test is suitable when you have anemia and / or neuropathy, which may be due to vitamin B12 deficiency; when you have red blood cells that are much larger than normal (macrocytic).
