Alpha-2-Macroglobulin Test: Cost, Symptoms, and Diagnosis

DNA Labs India provides accurate and reliable Alpha-2-Macroglobulin (A2M) tests at an affordable cost of INR 4000. A2M is a protein that plays a crucial role in our immune system and helps in the removal of damaged cells and tissues. The A2M test is recommended for individuals who are experiencing symptoms such as joint pain and stiffness, which are common in conditions like osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

Symptoms of A2M Deficiency

Individuals who have an A2M deficiency may experience symptoms such as:

• Joint pain and stiffness
• Reduced range of motion
• Swelling and inflammation in the joints
• Difficulty in performing daily activities

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it is recommended that you get an A2M test done to diagnose the root cause of your condition.

Diagnosing A2M Deficiency

The A2M test is a simple blood test that measures the levels of A2M protein in your blood. The test is performed by drawing a small amount of blood from your arm and sending it to the laboratory for analysis. The results of the test are usually available within a few days.

If your A2M levels are lower than normal, it may indicate an A2M deficiency. Your doctor may recommend further tests to diagnose the underlying condition causing the deficiency.

The cost of the A2M test at DNA Labs India is INR 4000, which is affordable compared to other diagnostic labs in India. The test is covered by some insurance plans, and you should check with your insurance provider to see if you are eligible for coverage.
