What Are Islet Cell Antibodies (ICA)
Islet cell antibodies (ICA) are autoantibodies that attack the insulin-producing islet cells in the pancreas.
Association with Type 1 Diabetes
The presence of ICA in the bloodstream is linked to an increased risk of developing type 1 diabetes.
How the Test is Performed
ICA are detected through a blood test that measures the antibody levels. This test is commonly used for individuals at higher risk, including those with a family history of type 1 diabetes or existing autoimmune conditions.
