Clinical Information for Immunodermatology (Serum Testing)

Ordering Recommendation

Use as the preferred initial diagnostic panel for suspected basement membrane zone antibody-associated skin and mucous membrane disorders that present with blistering, erosions, eczema, urticaria, pruritus, and/or mucositis. May be indicated by concurrent Direct Immunofluorescence, Tissue Biopsy (Cutaneous, Mucosal, Epithelial) (0092572).

Alternatively, order the comprehensive Immunobullous Disease Antibody Panel (3001409) for initial serum diagnostic assessment of epithelial antibody-associated diseases, pemphigoid, pemphigus, and their variants.

For more information about components, methodology, and specimen type, see the ARUP Immunobullous Disease Testing Comparison tool.
