Autologous Serum Skin Test (ASST)

The Autologous Serum Skin Test (ASST) is a simple and painless test that can be used to diagnose autoimmune urticaria. Autoimmune urticaria is a type of chronic urticaria (hives) that is caused by the body's own immune system attacking itself.
The ASST is performed by injecting a small amount of the patient's own blood into the skin. If the patient has autoimmune urticaria, the injection will cause a wheal (red, raised area) to form at the injection site. The size of the wheal is used to determine whether the patient has autoimmune urticaria.
The ASST is a safe and effective test for diagnosing autoimmune urticaria. It is also a relatively quick and easy test to perform. The results of the ASST are usually available within 30 minutes.

Expected Results
