Anti-Scl-70 Price in Bangladesh

What is Anti-Scl-70?

The Anti-Scl-70 test detects antibodies against topoisomerase I, an enzyme involved in DNA replication. These antibodies are primarily associated with systemic sclerosis (scleroderma), a chronic autoimmune disease that causes hardening and scarring of the skin and internal organs.

A positive Anti-Scl-70 test is often linked to the diffuse form of scleroderma, which tends to have a more severe course, including potential lung involvement. The test is performed with a blood sample, and risks are minimal, typically involving slight discomfort during the blood draw.

Elevated levels aid in diagnosing and assessing the severity of scleroderma.

What to expect & how to prepare

Anti-Scl-70 is performed at a diagnostic centre or hospital lab. A trained technician collects the required sample (commonly a blood draw, urine sample, swab or an imaging scan, depending on the test) and sends it to the lab for analysis. Most routine tests take only a few minutes to sample, with reports typically ready the same day or within 24–48 hours.

• Fasting: some tests require 8–12 hours of fasting (water is usually allowed). Ask the centre when you book.
• Medication: tell the lab about any medicines or supplements you take, as some can affect results.
• Timing: certain hormone and biochemistry tests are best done in the morning — confirm the recommended time.
• Report: always have a registered doctor interpret your Anti-Scl-70 result rather than self-diagnosing.
