Autoimmune Interstitial Lung Disease ILD Panel Test
Comprehensive Autoimmune Lung Disease Screening
The Autoimmune Interstitial Lung Disease ILD Panel represents a cutting-edge diagnostic approach for identifying autoimmune conditions that specifically target lung tissue. This comprehensive panel is essential for patients experiencing unexplained respiratory symptoms that may indicate underlying autoimmune processes affecting the interstitial spaces of the lungs.
What This Advanced Test Measures
Our ILD Panel employs sophisticated laboratory techniques to detect multiple autoantibodies and biomarkers associated with autoimmune lung diseases:
- ANA/ANF, IFA (HEP-2) with reflex to ENA Profile – Screens for antinuclear antibodies that may indicate systemic autoimmune conditions affecting the lungs
- ANCA, IFA in dilutions – Detects anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies associated with vasculitic lung diseases
- Anti-CCP – Identifies antibodies specific for rheumatoid arthritis, which commonly involves lung tissue
- RA Factor, Serum – Measures rheumatoid factor levels for arthritis-related lung involvement
- ACE (Angiotensin Converting Enzyme) – Evaluates levels that may indicate sarcoidosis affecting the lungs
Who Should Consider This Important Test
This comprehensive panel is recommended for individuals experiencing:
- Unexplained persistent dry cough lasting weeks to months
- Progressive shortness of breath during routine activities
- Chest discomfort or tightness without cardiac causes
- Fatigue and decreased exercise tolerance
- Abnormal chest imaging findings suggesting interstitial lung disease
- Known autoimmune conditions with new respiratory symptoms
- Family history of autoimmune or interstitial lung diseases
Significant Benefits of Early Detection
Undergoing the Autoimmune ILD Panel provides numerous advantages:
- Early Intervention – Identify autoimmune lung involvement before irreversible scarring occurs
- Targeted Treatment – Guide appropriate immunosuppressive therapy based on specific autoantibody profiles
- Disease Monitoring – Track treatment response and disease progression over time
- Comprehensive Assessment – Evaluate multiple potential autoimmune causes simultaneously
- Peace of Mind – Obtain definitive answers about unexplained respiratory symptoms
Understanding Your Test Results
Your ILD Panel results will provide valuable insights into potential autoimmune lung involvement:
- Positive ANA/ENA may suggest connective tissue disease-related ILD
- Elevated ANCA could indicate vasculitis affecting the lungs
- Positive Anti-CCP/RF suggests rheumatoid arthritis lung involvement
- Increased ACE may point toward pulmonary sarcoidosis
- Negative Results help exclude autoimmune causes, directing investigation toward other ILD etiologies
All results should be interpreted by your healthcare provider in the context of your clinical presentation and other diagnostic findings.
