Test Name: Desmoglein-1 (Dsg-1) Antibody Test

Purpose:
The Desmoglein-1 (Dsg-1) antibody test is used to detect antibodies against Desmoglein-1, a protein critical for cell adhesion in the skin. This test is primarily used to diagnose pemphigus foliaceus, an autoimmune blistering disorder. In pemphigus foliaceus, the immune system mistakenly attacks Desmoglein-1, leading to skin blistering. It may also aid in distinguishing between other autoimmune skin diseases.

Components Measured:

• Desmoglein-1 Antibodies: Detects the presence of autoantibodies targeting Desmoglein-1, which may indicate pemphigus foliaceus or other skin disorders.

Sample Type:
Blood sample (serum).

Fasting Requirements:
Fasting is not required for the Desmoglein-1 antibody test. You can eat and drink as normal before the test.

Preparation:

• Medications: Inform your healthcare provider if you are taking any medications, particularly immunosuppressive drugs or steroids, as these can affect the results of the test.
• Health History: Share any history of autoimmune diseases, skin disorders, or ongoing treatments with your doctor.

Collection Method:
A blood sample is drawn from a vein in your arm using a sterile needle.
