The AVISE CTD test is ideal for patients who:
- Have had a positive ANA test and are concerned they may have an autoimmune condition.
- Are experiencing lupus-like symptoms such as: skin rashes, mouth ulcers, joint swelling, hair loss, and others.
- Have tested negative for traditional lupus tests and have a clinical suspicion of lupus.
- Have fibromyalgia or another condition and are concerned they may be developing an autoimmune rheumatic condition.
What makes the AVISE CTD test different from other lupus or autoimmune tests?
- AVISE CTD is the only diagnostic test to incorporate patented lupus biomarkers Cell-Bound Complement Activation Products (CB-CAPs). These biomarkers have demonstrated in clinical studies to outperform traditional lupus testing, anti-dsDNA, by up to 48% .*
