ASKA Skeletal (Striated) Muscle Antibody near me in Gurgaon

Anti Skeletal/Striated Muscle Antibody (ASKA) is a diagnostic test for an autoimmune disease called myasthenia gravis. A person suffering from myasthenia gravis may have symptoms such as fatigue, drooping eyelids, inactivity of the muscle, especially the involuntary muscles, and poor mastication (chewing).

The ASKA skeletal (striated) muscle antibody test is typically used to check for the presence of abnormal antibodies in the serum of the individual, which blocks the receptor site of acetylcholine, an important neurological transmitter responsible for transmitting from the receptor site to the brain. The test is advised to patients showing positive symptoms of myasthenia gravis.
