About this test

The Islet Antibodies test is a blood test used to detect autoimmune antibodies targeting pancreatic islet cells, helping in the diagnosis of Type 1 diabetes.

The Islet Antibodies test is a diagnostic blood test that detects autoantibodies directed against the insulin-producing islet cells of the pancreas. These antibodies are commonly associated with autoimmune destruction of pancreatic beta cells.

This test is primarily used in the diagnosis and evaluation of Type 1 diabetes mellitus, where the immune system attacks and damages insulin-producing cells, leading to insulin deficiency.

The purpose of the Islet Antibodies Test is to

  • To detect islet cell antibodies in the blood
  • To diagnose Type 1 diabetes mellitus
  • To differentiate Type 1 from Type 2 diabetes
  • To assess autoimmune activity against pancreatic cells
  • To identify individuals at risk of developing diabetes
