    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.

    • Booking was easy but some tweaks needed to allow finding the right tests. The assigned person was great. No pain or any discomfort. The reports came in quickly as well. Some data points were not collected - body weight and height which can impact the inference of the results.

    • Right from the hassle free and quick booking, to delivery of the report (in under 4 hours from collection) it's been a seamless process. This is the second time we have used Orange Health and mention must be made of the personnel, they are always on time , well spoken and ensure the client is at ease before collecting the sample. Continue to maintain these standards and pretty soon this will be the only way people get their reports henceforth 👍🏻

    • Had an e-consultation at 8 pm, Doctor has prescribed few blood tests (incl Dengue). Orange Health Lab to the rescue. I found a 9:30 pm slot and surprisingly the phlebotomist reached much earlier at 8:45 pm, samples were collected & he left by 9, I got my CBC-Hemogram by 11:30 pm & Dengue report by 3 am. THEY ARE SO FAST & EFFICIENT. Also got a good discount on the otherwise expensive Dengue test. A BIG THANK YOU FROM THE DEPTH OF THE HEART 🙏 Their whatsapp support is also quick & responsive.
