The Intrinsic Factor IgG Antibody test is a diagnostic test that helps detect the presence of intrinsic factor antibodies associated with pernicious anaemia. The intrinsic factor antibody acts against the intrinsic factor, a type of glycoprotein produced by the parietal cells in the stomach lining. The intrinsic factor binds with vitamin B12 and helps in its absorption in the small intestine. Low levels of intrinsic factors impede the absorption of vitamin B12, which adversely affects the production of red blood cells and causes pernicious anaemia.

Symptoms of Pernicious Anaemia

Pernicious anaemia affects the red blood cells and leads to anaemia, a condition where there is a shortage of healthy red blood cells. Some of the common symptoms of pernicious anaemia are:

  • Weakness and fatigue
  • Dizziness and lightheadedness
  • Shortness of breath
  • Rapid heartbeat
  • Pale skin and gums
  • Numbness or tingling sensation in the hands and feet
  • Loss of appetite and weight loss

Test Procedure

The Intrinsic Factor IgG Antibody test requires a blood sample from the patient. The healthcare professional will draw the blood from a vein in the arm using a needle. The patient may feel slight discomfort or pain during the procedure, but there are no significant risks involved.

The healthcare professional will send the collected blood sample to a diagnostic laboratory for further analysis. If the test results are positive, it indicates an autoimmune response against the intrinsic Factor.

Treatment

If a patient receives a positive diagnosis, it means they have pernicious anaemia, and they will need lifelong treatment with vitamin B12 supplementation. The doctor may prescribe vitamin B12 injections or oral supplements to the patient. Regular monitoring of vitamin B12 levels is essential to ensure that they are receiving adequate treatment.

Benefits of Early Diagnosis

Early diagnosis of pernicious anaemia is essential to prevent severe complications, such as nerve damage, heart problems, and organ failure. It is recommended that anyone experiencing symptoms of pernicious anaemia should get the Intrinsic Factor IgG Antibody test done at the earliest. An early diagnosis can help in better management of the condition and lead to better health outcomes for the patient.

  • Accurate Diagnosis: Laboratory tests are highly specific and accurate, providing reliable results that help doctors make informed decisions about treatment.
  • Better Management: Early diagnosis allows doctors to provide timely treatment, which can help manage symptoms and prevent complications.
  • Improved Quality of Life: Proper treatment can improve energy levels, reduce fatigue, and restore normal bodily functions, leading to a better quality of life overall.
