Copy Utility
Ordering Recommendation
Use as the preferred initial diagnostic panel for skin and mucous membrane disorders that present with blistering, erosions, eczema, pruritus, and/or urticaria from suspected basement membrane zone antibody-associated disease (ie, pemphigoid, epidermolysis bullosa acquisita [EBA], linear IgA disease, bullous lupus erythematosus). May be indicated by concurrent Cutaneous Direct Immunofluorescence, Biopsy (0092572).
Alternatively, order Immunobullous Disease Panel, Epithelial (3001409) for initial diagnostic assessment.
Components include Epithelial Basement Membrane Zone IgG Antibodies (0092056), Epithelial Basement Membrane Zone IgA Antibodies (0092057), Bullous Pemphigoid (180&230) IgG Antibodies (0092566), and Collagen Type VII Antibody IgG (2010905).
