Scleroderma Panel Test
Scleroderma Panel Test: Autoimmune Connective Tissue Disorder Screening
Direct answer: The scleroderma panel test detects specific autoantibodies in blood to help diagnose scleroderma and related autoimmune connective tissue diseases.
Scleroderma is an autoimmune condition where the immune system attacks connective tissues, leading to skin thickening and possible internal organ involvement. The scleroderma panel measures disease-specific autoantibodies such as anti-Scl-70 and anticentromere antibodies, supporting early detection of systemic sclerosis. This test is advised when unexplained skin tightening, Raynaud’s phenomenon or suspected autoimmune disease is being evaluated. Sample collection is available through our Home Collection Facility across Pune or at our Direct Walk-in Facility in Aundh and nearby areas.
Why is the scleroderma panel test advised?
Direct answer: This test helps confirm scleroderma and differentiate it from other autoimmune connective tissue disorders.
Positive autoantibody patterns support diagnosis and guide specialist management of systemic sclerosis. Doctors often interpret results along with ANA testing and clinical findings. Learn more about autoimmune condition testing in our health articles, check sample guidance in test preparation guides, or compare autoimmune health profiles on comparison resources.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should I do a scleroderma panel test?
This test is advised when skin thickening, finger stiffness, Raynaud’s phenomenon or suspected autoimmune connective tissue disease is being investigated.
Is fasting required before this test?
Fasting is not required. You may continue normal food and water intake before sample collection.
What does a positive scleroderma panel indicate?
A positive result suggests autoimmune connective tissue disease such as systemic sclerosis and requires specialist medical evaluation.
Which symptoms may lead to this test?
Skin tightening, cold-sensitive fingers, joint pain, fatigue or unexplained autoimmune symptoms may prompt this test.
