Alternatively, some drugs induce the formation of true autoantibodies, which are able to bind granulocytes in the absence of any drug.
2
We recommend that thyroid function be followed closely whether or not thyroid autoantibodies are present.
3
A blood test for autoantibodies may be performed early in the diagnostic process as well as a test for antiplatelet antibodies.
4
The presence of GAD autoantibodies may indicate the beginning of the autoimmune process that destroys pancreatic beta cells.
5
It is caused by autoantibodies to the islet cells in the pancreas that produce insulin, and persons must be given insulin to control blood glucose and prevent ketosis.
6
These conditions develop in CVID as a result of the production of autoantibodies (antibodies directed against the body's own tissue).
7
Hyperthyroidism is often associated with the body's production of autoantibodies in the blood which causes the thyroid to grow and secrete excess thyroid hormone.
