Autoimmune testing benefits people with persistent joint pain, unexplained rashes, prolonged fatigue, or a family history of autoimmune disease. In Surat, women aged 20 to 45 across Sarthana, Athwa, and similar areas make up a large share of new diagnoses.

Your doctor reads the value against the reference range on your report and your symptoms, and may repeat a borderline result to confirm it.
