About Centromere Antibody Test

The centromere antibody refers to an autoantibody, an abnormal protein generated by the body’s immune system that mistakenly attacks its own tissues. The Centromere Antibody test identifies and quantifies these antibodies in the bloodstream. When is the Centromere Antibody Test Prescribed? A healthcare provider may recommend this test when an individual has a positive ANA test, accompanied by symptoms characteristic of the CREST spectrum. These clinical signs include: Calcinos

When is the Centromere Antibody Test Prescribed?

A healthcare provider may recommend this test when an individual has a positive ANA test, accompanied by symptoms characteristic of the CREST spectrum. These clinical signs include:

Calcinosis – presence of calcium deposits beneath the skin
Raynaud phenomenon – reduced blood circulation to fingers and toes, leading to colour changes such as white or blue
Oesophageal dysfunction – difficulty in swallowing, along with acid reflux and heartburn
Sclerodactyly – tight, thickened, and shiny skin over the fingers and hands
Telangiectasia – visible red spots on the skin caused by widened small blood vessels

How to Interpret Centromere Antibody Test Results?

When anticentromere antibodies (ACA) are detected in someone with CREST-related symptoms, it strongly suggests limited systemic sclerosis. In fact, ACA is seen in approximately 60–80% of individuals diagnosed with this form of the disease.

On the other hand, if ACA is not present, the symptoms are more likely linked to another medical condition. While uncommon, a small number of people with limited systemic sclerosis may not produce anticentromere antibodies, meaning the condition can still exist even when ACA results are negative.

How To Prepare for the Centromere Antibody Test?

No specific preparation is required for the Centromere Antibody test. Individuals can easily schedule the Centromere Antibody test through Max Lab at an affordable price, with the option for convenient home sample collection. Once the test is completed, the report is usually ready within 48 hours. It can be collected from the nearest Max Lab centre or downloaded directly from the official Max Lab website.

After receiving the test results, it is suggested to consult a healthcare professional. The doctor will review the report along with the individual’s medical history and symptoms to provide an accurate diagnosis. Based on the findings, the doctor may recommend a treatment plan or suggest additional tests if necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's) about Centromere Antibody

A normal anti-centromere antibody level is generally considered negative, meaning the antibody is not detected in the blood. A positive result indicates the presence of anticentromere antibodies, which may be associated with autoimmune conditions like systemic sclerosis. Reference ranges may vary based on the laboratory and testing method used.

The cost of an anti-centromere antibody test varies depending on the city, diagnostic laboratory, and whether home sample collection services are chosen. At Max Lab, the test typically costs around INR 1500.

Anti-centromere antibody is also known as the ACA test (Anticentromere Antibody Test).

Anti-centromere antibodies are most commonly associated with limited systemic sclerosis (CREST syndrome). They may also be seen in other autoimmune disorders, such as systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, and primary biliary cholangitis.

In CREST syndrome, the anticentromere antibody (ACA) is typically positive. This marker helps support diagnosis and differentiation from other forms of systemic sclerosis.
