What is the GAD65 Antibody Test Pune by IFA?
Direct Answer: The GAD65 Antibody Test Pune, by IFA detects autoimmune antibodies that attack insulin-producing cells in the pancreas.
GAD65 (Glutamic Acid Decarboxylase 65) is an enzyme found in pancreatic beta cells. When the immune system mistakenly targets it, GAD65 antibodies appear in the blood. This test helps identify type 1 diabetes, latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA), and autoimmune pancreatic disorders. At healthcare nt sickcare, Pune residents can access testing through the Home Collection Facility or Direct Walk-in Facility.
Why is this test advised?
Direct Answer: Doctors advise this test to confirm autoimmune diabetes and distinguish it from type 2 diabetes.
It is recommended for individuals with unexplained high blood sugar, sudden weight loss, or suspected autoimmune conditions. You may review sample guidance in our test preparation guides, learn more about diabetes care in our health articles, compare screening options via compare health checkups, or explore diagnostic support at our services.
