Intrinsic Factor Antibody Test
About Intrinsic Factor Antibody Test
The Intrinsic Factor Antibody Test detects autoantibodies, which are immune proteins that mistakenly block intrinsic factor — a stomach-produced protein needed for vitamin B12 absorption. Without intrinsic factor, the body cannot properly absorb vitamin B12, leading to deficiency.
At healthcare nt sickcare in Pune, this blood test helps diagnose pernicious anaemia, an autoimmune condition causing chronic vitamin B12 deficiency. Home collection and direct walk-in facility are available for Pune and nearby areas.
