Examen de anticuerpos anti-células parietales - Risks

Nombres alternativos

APCA; Anticuerpos contra células parietales gástricas

Riesgos:

Las venas y las arterias varían en tamaño de un paciente a otro y de un lado del cuerpo a otro, razón por la cual extraer sangre de algunas personas puede ser más difícil que de otras.

Otros riesgos asociados con la extracción de sangre son leves, pero pueden ser:

  • Sangrado excesivo
  • Desmayo o sensación de mareo
  • Hematoma (acumulación de sangre debajo de la piel)
  • Infección (un riesgo leve cada vez que se presenta ruptura de la piel)

Consideraciones:

Menos del 2% de la población general obtiene un resultado positivo para anticuerpos anti-células parietales; sin embargo, ese porcentaje aumenta con la edad. Algunas personas mayores de 60 años pueden obtener un resultado positivo para estos anticuerpos.

Las personas con otros trastornos inmunitarios, como tiroiditis y diabetes tipo I, también pueden tener anticuerpos anti-células parietales.
