Glomerular Basement Membrane GBM Antibody IgG Test
Introduction to the Test
The Glomerular Basement Membrane GBM Antibody IgG Test is a vital diagnostic tool used to identify the presence of antibodies against the glomerular basement membrane, which is crucial for kidney function. This test is particularly important in diagnosing autoimmune disorders that affect the kidneys, such as Goodpasture syndrome. Early detection through this test can lead to timely intervention and management of kidney-related diseases.
