Ordering RecommendationRecommendations when to order or not order the test. May include related or preferred tests.
May be useful in detecting glomerular basement membrane (GBM) antibodies. Combined use of IFA Glomerular Basement Membrane Antibody, IgG by Multiplex Bead Assay and IFA (2008403) may improve diagnostic sensitivity for disease. If positive, may be useful for monitoring treatment response.

Interpretive DataBackground information for test. May include disease information, patient result explanation, recommendations, details of testing, associated diseases, explanation of possible patient results.
The presence of anti-glomerular basement membrane (GBM) antibodies by Multiplex Bead Assay, may aid in the diagnosis of Goodpasture syndrome. False positive results may occur due to reactivity against other chains of type IV collagen. If Multiplex Bead Assay is negative but there is strong suspicion for disease, renal biopsy may be indicated. A renal biopsy may also be essential in suspected Goodpasture disease with renal involvement, allowing diagnostic confirmation and assessment of renal prognosis.
