ANTI ACH R ANTIBODY

This examination is aimed at gauging the levels of acetylcholine receptor (AChR) antibody within your blood, conducted by Hypro Diagnostics. Acetylcholine plays a pivotal role as a neurotransmitter in facilitating muscle contractions. Individuals diagnosed with myasthenia gravis (MG), an autoimmune disorder, often produce an anomalous protein called acetylcholine receptor antibody. This protein disrupts the normal functioning of acetylcholine, initially leading to muscle weakness in the eyes, characterized by symptoms such as double vision or drooping eyelids. MG results from the immune system generating antibodies that target the usual processes of acetylcholine. Although MG is considered uncommon, it can affect individuals of any age, with a higher incidence in women under 40 and men over 60. It’s crucial to note that MG is not contagious. In certain cases, newborns of mothers with MG may display transient symptoms, typically resolving with appropriate treatment. Hypro Diagnostics specializes in conducting this diagnostic test to provide comprehensive insights into your condition.
