The answer to autoimmune disease uncertainty
Overlapping autoimmune disease symptoms, especially during early onset, can make diagnosing by symptoms alone very difficult.1
EliA autoimmunity assays are the solution you’re looking for.
With an optimized balance of specificity and sensitivity, EliA assays help healthcare providers gain additional insight used to support disease-specific diagnoses and optimize patient management.
A comprehensive autoimmunity testing menu
EliA diagnostics comprise an ever-growing portfolio of more than 50 clinically relevant tests for autoimmune diseases. Learn more about disease states and EliA testing.

Why does specificity matter?
It’s all about avoiding false-positive results and reducing unnecessary follow-up testing.
Why choose EliA autoimmune diagnostics?
Dependable results, diagnostic confidence, and optimized speed to diagnosis equates to enhanced patient outcomes.
Diagnostic confidence
Autoimmune diseases can be difficult to diagnose. EliA tests help identify specific markers to aid in their diagnoses.
Speed to diagnosis
Some EliA tests can help speed diagnoses by detecting autoantibodies early in the disease stage—possibly before symptom onset.2
Continuous innovation
Phadia AB, manufacturer of EliA assays, has provided continuous innovation in autoimmune testing for more than 20 years.
Dependable results
Reliable results can help estimate disease severity and prognosis.3-4

Frequently asked questions
Almost any provider, including both general healthcare providers and specialists, can order a test (assuming the laboratory of choice offers EliA tests).
Follow typical ordering procedures just as you would for any other blood test and select a laboratory that offers EliA tests.
Results should be interpreted according to local guidelines and in conjunction with the patient’s clinical examination and symptom history. For more information, contact your local expert.
Take a deep dive via our product catalog or contact an expert with additional questions.
Contact our experts to purchase EliA tests. Note, however, that you’ll need Phadia Laboratory Systems to run both EliA autoimmunity assays and other tests such as ImmunoCAP allergy diagnostics.
