What is a ANTI PLA R2 ANTIBODY Test in Bangalore ?

The anti PLA R2 antibody test measures antibodies in the blood that target the PLA2R receptor on kidney cells. These antibodies are part of an immune response and can damage the filters in the kidney. The test is important because it helps identify primary membranous nephropathy, a common cause of heavy protein loss in urine. Doctors use it to help confirm a diagnosis, to choose or adjust immune-suppressing treatment, and to track how well treatment is working. Rising antibody levels can signal disease activity or relapse. Falling or disappearing antibodies usually mean treatment is working and kidney risk is lower.

Why Take a ANTI PLA R2 ANTIBODY Test in Bangalore ?

ANTI PLA R2 ANTIBODY is often ordered as part of a workup for nephrotic syndrome or an autoimmune kidney panel when someone has heavy proteinuria, swelling, or foamy urine. It helps diagnose primary membranous nephropathy and monitor disease activity or response to immunosuppressive therapy. Abnormal results usually reflect autoimmune activity, while secondary causes like infections, drugs, or cancer can also affect results. A family history of kidney disease may prompt earlier or more detailed testing.

What is an anti-PLA2R antibody in Bangalore?plus

Anti-PLA2R antibodies are autoantibodies directed against the M-type phospholipase A2 receptor on glomerular podocytes. They are the main cause of primary membranous nephropathy, are predominantly IgG4, and their presence helps diagnose and distinguish primary from secondary disease. Antibody levels correlate with disease activity and prognosis, guiding treatment and monitoring for remission or relapse.

What does a positive PLA2R test mean in Bangalore?plus

A positive PLA2R test means circulating antibodies to the phospholipase A2 receptor are present, strongly suggesting primary (autoimmune) membranous nephropathy. It indicates active immune-mediated kidney injury, helps distinguish primary from secondary causes, and correlates with disease activity and prognosis. Antibody levels guide treatment and monitoring, but diagnosis and management also require clinical assessment and often a kidney biopsy.

What is the cost of PLA2R antibody test in Bangalore?plus

Costs vary by country and testing route. In India it's typically ₹1,500–₹5,000. In the UK it's usually covered by the NHS; privately it runs about £40–£120. In the US out‑of‑pocket prices range roughly $100–$500; insurance or Medicare may reduce or cover it. Prices differ between labs—confirm with your local hospital or diagnostic centre.

Can anti-PLA2R be used for diagnosis in Bangalore?plus

Yes. Serum anti-PLA2R antibodies are a highly specific marker for primary (idiopathic) membranous nephropathy and can support diagnosis—often reducing the need for biopsy when the clinical picture fits. Sensitivity is moderate, so a negative test does not exclude disease. Antibody levels also reflect disease activity and prognosis, aiding treatment decisions and monitoring alongside clinical and histological findings.

What is the range for anti-PLA2R in Bangalore?plus

Reference ranges vary by assay and lab. For ELISA, commonly: <14 RU/mL = negative, 14–20 RU/mL = borderline, and >20 RU/mL = positive. Very high titres (often >150 RU/mL) suggest active or more severe membranous nephropathy. Interpret results alongside clinical findings and nephrology consultation, as cut-offs and units can differ between laboratories.

What is the function of PLA2R in Bangalore?plus

PLA2R (M-type phospholipase A2 receptor) is a transmembrane receptor that binds secreted phospholipase A2 enzymes. It mediates sPLA2 uptake and clearance, influences inflammatory signaling and lipid metabolism by regulating arachidonic acid and eicosanoid production, and modulates cell signaling. In the kidney it’s highly expressed on podocytes and can serve as an autoantigen in membranous nephropathy.
