Intrinsic Factor IgG

What Are Intrinsic Factor Antibodies?

Intrinsic factor antibodies are immune system proteins that interfere with the absorption of vitamin B12, commonly linked to a condition known as pernicious anaemia. These antibodies target intrinsic factor, a protein essential for vitamin B12 absorption in the small intestine.

Purpose of the Intrinsic Factor Antibody Test

The intrinsic factor antibody test is a blood test used to detect the presence of IgG antibodies against intrinsic factor. Identifying these antibodies in the bloodstream helps diagnose pernicious anaemia and determine the underlying cause of vitamin B12 deficiency.
