Autoimmune Disease Testing in Hyderabad
In autoimmune diseases, the immune system attacks the body's own tissues: joints in rheumatoid arthritis, many organs in lupus, the thyroid in Hashimoto's disease. Blood tests help confirm the diagnosis and guide a specialist's treatment.

About Autoimmune Disease Testing
Autoimmune conditions are more common in women and often begin between the ages of 20 and 50. Symptoms can be vague and come and go: joint pain and morning stiffness, unexplained fever, rashes, mouth ulcers, hair loss, fatigue or dry eyes and mouth.
Doctors use antibody tests to look for the immune system's 'signature'. Some tests are broad screening tests, such as ANA; others are specific to one disease, such as anti-CCP for rheumatoid arthritis or tissue transglutaminase antibody for celiac disease.
Antibody tests are always read together with symptoms and examination. Some healthy people have low positive results, so testing is targeted rather than done as a blanket screen.
Who should get tested
- Joint pain with swelling and morning stiffness lasting more than 30 minutes
- Unexplained rashes, especially on the face after sun exposure
- Recurrent mouth ulcers, hair loss, or fingers that turn white in the cold
- Persistent fatigue or low-grade fever without infection
- Dry eyes and dry mouth
- Chronic diarrhoea, bloating or poor growth in children (celiac disease)

What the key tests tell you
- ANA (antinuclear antibody)
- The main screening test for lupus and related conditions. A negative ANA makes lupus unlikely.
- ANA profile / ENA
- Identifies specific antibodies such as anti-dsDNA, Sm, SSA and SSB that point to particular diseases.
- RA factor and anti-CCP
- Support the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis; anti-CCP is the more specific of the two.
- ESR and CRP
- Measure inflammation in the body and help track disease activity.
- Anti-TPO and anti-thyroglobulin
- Antibodies that cause autoimmune thyroid disease (Hashimoto's and Graves').
- Tissue transglutaminase IgA (tTG)
- The screening test for celiac disease, done while still eating gluten.
- HLA-B27
- A genetic marker associated with ankylosing spondylitis, used when inflammatory back pain is suspected.
Before your test
- No fasting is needed for most antibody tests.
- For celiac testing, keep eating wheat-containing foods until the test; stopping gluten early can give a false negative.
- List your medicines, as some can trigger positive antibody results.
Understanding your results
A positive antibody test supports a diagnosis but does not make one on its own. A rheumatologist or the relevant specialist combines results with symptoms and examination.
ESR and CRP are used over time to see whether treatment is controlling inflammation, so regular monitoring is common once a diagnosis is made.

Autoimmune Disease Testing: frequently asked questions
Does a positive ANA mean I have lupus?
No. A low positive ANA is found in some healthy people, especially women and older adults. Lupus is diagnosed from symptoms together with more specific antibody tests.
Which test is best for rheumatoid arthritis?
Anti-CCP is the most specific blood test for rheumatoid arthritis and is often done with RA factor, ESR and CRP.
Can autoimmune diseases be cured?
Most are long-term conditions, but modern treatment controls them well. Early diagnosis helps prevent joint and organ damage.
Do I need a doctor's prescription for these tests?
You can book directly, but because results need specialist interpretation, it is best to test on your doctor's advice.
