The Infliximab Antibody Test is a crucial diagnostic tool for patients receiving Infliximab therapy, particularly for conditions affecting the gastrointestinal tract. This test measures the levels of antibodies that can develop against the medication, which can affect its efficacy.
What the Test Measures
This test specifically detects the presence and concentration of antibodies to Infliximab in the serum. Monitoring these levels is essential for optimizing treatment and ensuring that patients receive the maximum benefit from their therapy.

Additionally, individuals who have risk factors such as a history of insufficient response to treatment may also benefit from this test.
