lupus cell assay

The lupus erythematosus factor in the blood of patients with lupus erythematosus is an anti-nuclear protein immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibody that acts on the cell membrane to damage it and swell the cell nucleus to form a uniform, unstructured circular smog. A substance (homogeneous body) that forms a lupus erythematosus cell after being phagocytosed by mature polymorphonuclear leukocytes. The presence or absence of neutral polymorphonuclear leukocytes phagocytosis in the blood can be used to diagnose lupus erythematosus. Basic Information Specialist classification: skin examination classification: blood examination Applicable gender: whether men and women apply fasting: fasting Analysis results: Below normal: Normal value: no Above normal: negative: normal. Positive: Systemic lupus erythematosus. Tips: Keep a normal state of mind. Normal value negative.

Inspection process Inspection process: (1) After treatment with hormones, patients with lupus erythematosus can reduce or turn negative. (2) should be checked before hormone therapy, blood samples should be taken immediately, and the temperature should be checked. Examination method: Immunofluorescence anti-nuclear antibody titer abnormality or other test titer equivalent to the method, excluding drug-induced "lupus syndrome".
