The Centromere Antibody test is a blood test that detects the presence of antibodies against centromere proteins. These antibodies are often associated with certain autoimmune conditions, particularly limited systemic sclerosis (also called CREST syndrome). The test helps in diagnosing autoimmune disorders and monitoring disease progression. It is widely available at an affordable price with Tata 1mg labs in Chennai.








What does Centromere Antibody measure?
The Centromere Antibody test measures the presence and level of antibodies that target centromere proteins in the blood. Centromeres are structures within chromosomes that play a key role in cell division. When the immune system mistakenly produces antibodies against these proteins, it can lead to autoimmune reactions affecting connective tissues, blood vessels, and internal organs.
High levels of centromere antibodies are strongly associated with limited systemic sclerosis (CREST syndrome), while low or absent levels are usually seen in healthy individuals or those with other autoimmune conditions. Detecting these antibodies helps clinicians confirm a diagnosis, assess disease severity, and monitor potential complications over time.
