LE Cells Test

The LE Cells test is a blood test that is used to detect the presence of Lupus Erythematosus (LE) cells in the blood. LE cells are white blood cells that contain small clumps of DNA and antibodies, and they are commonly found in people with autoimmune diseases, such as lupus.

At healthcare nt sickcare, we offer the LE Cells test as a part of our autoimmune disease testing panel. You can easily book the test online and our trained phlebotomists will collect your blood sample from your home. The sample will then be transported to our NABL-accredited laboratories for analysis. You can access the results of your LE Cells test on our secure online portal within a few days.

The LE Cells test is typically used in the diagnosis of lupus and other autoimmune diseases. In addition to the LE Cells test, other tests such as the antinuclear antibody (ANA) test and the anti-double-stranded DNA (anti-dsDNA) test may also be used to help confirm a diagnosis of lupus.

Common symptoms of lupus include:

1. Joint pain and stiffness
2. Fatigue
3. Skin rashes, particularly on the face
4. Sensitivity to light
5. Mouth ulcers
6. Kidney problems
7. Chest pain or shortness of breath

If you suspect that you may have lupus or an autoimmune disease, it is important to get tested. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential to manage symptoms and prevent complications.
