How to test for autoimmune disease?
To test for an autoimmune disease, you need a blood draw. Your blood sample will be sent to the lab, where technicians will test it for one or more autoantibodies. If they find any irregular antibodies, it might suggest you have an autoimmune disease.
Your doctor will guide you through further testing to confirm a diagnosis for a specific autoimmune disease. In addition to a blood draw, other tests that may be used in diagnosis include:
- Ultrasound scan
- Computed tomography (CT) scan
