Diagnostic Development Services

Autoimmune diseases are often regarded as complex diseases due to their extremely complicated causes and symptoms. Therefore, the development of new diagnostic technologies for autoimmune diseases is considered to be very promising. Our company provides leading-edge research services and essential platforms to help you get ahead of the curve in the diagnostic development for Autoimmune Diseases & Inflammation.

Diagnostic Technologies for Autoimmune Diseases

Many autoimmune diseases have complex etiology, with atypical early symptoms, and the development of the disease is usually hidden. Therefore, the diagnosis of autoimmune diseases is characterized by a great possibility of missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis, which also brings a great challenge to the development of autoimmune disease diagnostic technologies.

• In Vitro Diagnostics
  In the practice of in vitro diagnostics for autoimmune diseases, it is one of the most commonly used methods to detect disease-related biomarkers through samples from body fluids (blood, urine, etc.). For example, anti-nuclear antibody (ANA) test for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (anti-CCP) test for rheumatoid arthritis, and C-reactive protein (CPR) test for inflammation.
• Pathological Diagnostics
  Pathological diagnostics is one of the branches of autoimmune disease diagnostics methods, including histopathological diagnostics, cytopathological diagnostics, immunohistochemical pathological diagnostics and molecular pathological diagnostics. Pathological diagnostics is usually the final diagnostics of the disease in clinic, providing important information such as individualized medication, prognosis assessment, efficacy monitoring, early diagnostics and early screening. Skin histopathology biopsies, for example, can be used to diagnose skin-related autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus and dermatomyositis.
• Imaging Diagnostics
  Imaging technology is also an important method in autoimmune diseases diagnostics, which can help diagnose and treat the disease by obtaining information about the body's internal organism through various imaging technologies. A variety of imaging technologies have been used in diagnostic imaging, such as X-ray imaging, which can be used to detect joint damage and bone density in rheumatoid arthritis, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which can provide diagnostic images of soft tissues and joints for diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis.
