Addison disease represents primary adrenal insufficiency stemming from an autoimmune attack on the adrenal cortex. Disease patients show reduced levels of cortisol and aldosterone in their bodies. The occurrence of Addison disease shows a higher frequency among women and tends to coexist with other autoimmune disorders. Monitoring the condition from the start together with an early diagnosis helps prevent serious complications including adrenal crisis.
Addison Disease Testing and Analysis Services
We specialize in performing antibody tests for Addison disease specifically targeting adrenal cortex antibodies (ACAs) and 21-hydroxylase antibodies (21-OH antibodies). Antibody detection allows physicians to assess autoimmune status and calculate Addison disease risk for patients.
ELISA Testing Methods
ELISA technology serves as the cornerstone for Addison disease diagnosis, ensuring clinically actionable and scientifically robust results through meticulously designed protocols:
Dual Assurance of Sensitivity & Specificity: The recombinant 21-hydroxylase antigen-coating technology helps to precisely detect autoimmune antibodies while clearly differentiating between normal physiological changes and disease-related abnormalities.
Standardized Quality Control System: This system meets ISO 15189 standards while incorporating automated microplate readers and a three-tier calibrator system to maintain high consistency in batch analyses.
Superior Compatibility with Complex Samples: Optimized pre-processing protocols ensure reliable detection of low-abundance antibodies in hemolyzed or lipemic specimens.
Our diagnostic approach includes ELISA and advanced technologies to address various diagnostic requirements.
Indirect Immunofluorescence: Our diagnostic approach uses frozen adrenal tissue sections that are stained to detect ACAs since this method provides the necessary high sensitivity for clinical applications.
Western Blot: Western Blot confirms specific antibodies through electrophoresis protein separation followed by membrane transfer for detection.
Enzyme Immunospot Assay: Researchers can use this technique for high-throughput screening as it allows rapid simultaneous detection of multiple antibodies.
Immunoturbidimetry: This technique measures antibody concentrations in samples which enables its application in extensive screening operations.
Protein Chip Technology: The technology enables multiple antibodies' concurrent detection which increases testing effectiveness in research and clinical settings.
