Anti-Striated Muscle Abs

Anti-Striated Muscle Abs


The Anti-Striated Muscle Antibodies test measures antibodies in the blood that may react against striated (skeletal and heart) muscle tissue. These antibodies are sometimes present in individuals with autoimmune conditions, particularly myasthenia gravis or thymoma-related disorders. Detecting these antibodies can help support diagnosis and guide further clinical evaluation. This test is usually recommended when symptoms such as muscle weakness, fatigue, or drooping eyelids require further investigation.
