Understanding Parietal Cell Antibody in Muzaffarpur

What is Parietal Cell Antibody in Muzaffarpur?

The Parietal Cell Antibody is a blood test that detects antibodies against the parietal cells of the stomach. It helps diagnose autoimmune atrophic gastritis and pernicious anemia, facilitating timely intervention to reduce symptoms and prevent long-term damage. It is available in Muzaffarpur with Tata 1mg at an affordable price.

The Parietal Cell Antibody test is recommended for individuals experiencing symptoms like persistent pain or inflammation in the stomach, weakness, fatigue or neurological symptoms, having immune mediated deficiency of vitamin B12 or anemia or for those with a family history of autoimmune disorders.

An overnight fasting is preferred for this test but is not mandatory.

What does Parietal Cell Antibody measure?

The Parietal Cell Antibody test detects the presence of antibodies that attack the stomach's parietal cells. These antibodies can cause damage to the stomach lining, which affects the production of HCL and intrinsic factors, both needed for digestion and absorbing vitamin B12. A positive test result means there may be an autoimmune problem with the stomach, while a negative result doesn’t completely rule out related conditions. Knowing if these antibodies are present helps doctors diagnose autoimmune gastritis, assess the risk of vitamin B12 deficiency, and manage anemia or other problems. The test helps doctors formulate treatment plans, such as vitamin B12 supplements, and monitor other autoimmune issues.
