    What is a Intrinsic Factor Antibody (IFA) Test?

    The Intrinsic Factor Antibody (IFA) test detects pernicious anaemia. In pernicious anaemia, the body makes antibodies that attack either the intrinsic factor (IF), a protein needed to absorb vitamin B12, or the gastric parietal cells that produce IF. As a result, there are two types of antibodies: gastric parietal cell antibodies (PCAs) and intrinsic factor antibodies (IFAs).

    Pernicious anaemia is the most common cause of vitamin B12 deficiency and is marked by symptoms like vitamin B12 deficiency, megaloblastic anaemia, neuropathy, and atrophic gastritis, along with the presence of intrinsic factor autoantibodies. It results from an autoimmune disease that damages the stomach lining. Initially, the parietal cells that produce IF are destroyed. Then, autoantibodies against IF block the binding sites for vitamin B12.

    Although, IFAs are fewer than PCAs, IFA is the specific marker for pernicious anaemia.

    If you live in Bangalore and have vitamin B12 deficiency, you can book the Intrinsic Factor Antibody (IFA) test in Bangalore to confirm if you have pernicious anaemia.

Earlier I booked for night but then someone called and asked about when did I eat and since I had to be in fast for past 8 hrs before sample collection, we rescheduled it to next morning.
