Anti-DNA antibodies (anti-dsDNA)

Accredited Facility E-report Qualified Specialists

This test is done to detect antibodies directed against double-stranded DNA, a key component of cell nuclei. These antibodies are strongly associated with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Their presence and level can help support diagnosis and may reflect disease activity, particularly in cases involving kidney inflammation (lupus nephritis).

  • If systemic lupus erythematosus is suspected or diagnosed.
  • If there are symptoms such as joint pain, rash, or fatigue.
  • If there are signs of kidney involvement (protein or blood in urine).
  • If a healthcare provider is monitoring lupus disease activity.
  • No fasting is required.
  • No special preparation is usually needed.
  • Inform your healthcare provider about immunosuppressive medications.
  • Follow any instructions provided by the laboratory or healthcare provider.
