Result Interpretation

 
< 1:4  No Antibody Detected
 
Islet cell antibodies (ICAs) are associated with type 1 diabetes (T1D), an autoimmune endocrine disorder. ICAs may be present years before the onset of clinical symptoms. To calculate Juvenile Diabetes Foundation (JDF) units: multiply the titer x 5 (1:8 8 x 5 = 40 JDF Units).
