Know More about ANTI STREPTOLYSIN-O (ASO) TITRE
The Anti Streptolysin O (ASO) Titer test is a straightforward blood test that reveals the antibodies that your body makes when a toxin (streptolysin O) is produced by Streptococcus bacteria. ASO titer testing typically assists your doctor in diagnosing a previous or current strep infection, especially if certain complications are coming to light, such as rheumatic fever or post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis (inflammation of the kidneys).
Process
- A blood sample is taken from a vein in your arm.
- The blood sample undergoes testing in the laboratory for ASO antibody levels.
- The ASO antibody levels in your sample are segmented and compared to standard reference ranges.
When to Get Tested
You should have ASO testing if you have joint pain, joint swelling, dark urine, and fever (along the doctor's suspected strep throat or skin infection). The results can also be beneficial in monitoring your recovery from an illness in which strep was suspected.
Sample Type
Only a small amount of blood sample is required.
Test Preparations
Some labs require a fasting period of 6 hours. Be sure to let the doctor know what medications you are taking.
Understanding Your Results
Normal levels of anti-streptolysin O usually mean you have had no recent strep infection. Elevated or rising levels usually indicate a recent or ongoing infection, especially if you have symptoms. In this case, your doctor may recommend more tests or treatment.
