Get the answers you need with AVISE^® CTD.

Lupus can be hard to diagnose because it has many symptoms that are often mistaken for symptoms of other diseases. Many people can have lupus for a while before they find out they have it.

When combined with your provider's clinical assessment, AVISE^® CTD can provide the information necessary to help make a diagnosis for lupus.

AVISE CTD is the only validated test that uses patented 23-biomarkers that have been proven to outperform standard diagnosis laboratory testing in the detection of lupus.

Overlapping Symptoms Make Diagnosis Difficult

The AVISE CTD test is ideal for patients who:

Are experiencing lupus-like symptoms such as: skin rashes, mouth ulcers, joint swelling, hair loss, and others.
Have a positive ANA test and are concerned you may have an autoimmune disease.
Have tested negative for traditional lupus tests and have a clinical suspicion of lupus.
Have fibromyalgia or another condition and are concerned you may be developing an autoimmune rheumatic condition.
