  2. Diagnosing and monitoring the treatment for celiac disease
  3. Excluding celiac disease in cases of unexplained low vitamin B12 / ferritin levels

*Individuals with a personal history of autoimmune diseases or a family history of autoimmune diseases, celiac disease, or positive for HLA DQ2 DQ8.

The Reticulin Antibodies A (ARA IgA) test is an important tool in diagnosing certain autoimmune diseases and evaluating the immune system. Reticulin is a protein antigen usually found in the cell nucleus, and the presence of antibodies against reticulin A can be associated with various autoimmune diseases, such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and scleroderma.

The ARA IgA test is usually performed through a simple blood sample. The blood sample is analyzed in the laboratory, where the levels of antibodies are measured and the likelihood of pathological conditions is assessed.

Antibodies against reticulin A may be produced when the immune system attacks the body’s own tissues, violating the autoimmunity. This can lead to autoimmune diseases, where the immune system attacks its own cells and tissues.

Lupus, for example, is an autoimmune disease that can affect many systems of the body, including the skin, joints, kidneys, and nervous system. The presence of antibodies against reticulin A can be used as one of the criteria for diagnosing lupus, although it is not always an exclusive indicator of the disease.

Rheumatoid arthritis is another autoimmune disease often associated with the presence of antibodies against reticulin A. This condition mainly affects the joints, causing inflammation and pain.

Scleroderma is another autoimmune disease that can be linked to antibodies against reticulin A. This disease causes hardening and tightening of the skin, as well as problems in internal organs such as the lungs and blood vessels.

The ARA IgA test is typically part of a broader profile of tests for diagnosing autoimmune diseases. In many cases, this test is conducted alongside other tests, such as measuring antibodies against double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) for lupus and testing for the presence of the erythrocyte and tissue nuclear antigen (ENA) for scleroderma.

Overall, the ARA IgA test is an important tool for diagnosing and monitoring autoimmune diseases. With this test, doctors can detect potential autoimmune reactions in the body and predict the course of the disease and the effectiveness of treatment.
