What does this test ASKA (Skeletal/ Striated Muscle Antibody), IFA Test identify?

The ASKA (Skeletal/Striated Muscle Antibody) IFA Test is used to identify antibodies that target skeletal or striated muscle tissue. These antibodies are often associated with autoimmune diseases such as myositis, dermatomyositis, and polymyositis. The presence of these antibodies can help diagnose and monitor the progression of these conditions.

Why is this test ASKA (Skeletal/ Striated Muscle Antibody), IFA Test taken?

The ASKA (Skeletal/ Striated Muscle Antibody) IFA Test is taken to detect the presence of antibodies that target skeletal or striated muscles in the body. This test is usually ordered when a healthcare provider suspects an autoimmune disorder affecting the muscles, such as myositis or dermatomyositis. These conditions can cause muscle weakness, pain, and inflammation.

The ASKA test is performed using indirect immunofluorescence microscopy to look for specific antibodies that bind to the patient's skeletal muscle tissue. A positive result may indicate an autoimmune muscle disorder, while a negative result suggests that antibodies targeting skeletal muscles are not present.
