    Designed to detect 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.

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.

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