Examinations for autoimmune diseases
Autoimmune diseases develop hen the immune system starts to fight against the body instead of protecting it. Currently more than 100 autoimmune diseases have been identified. These diseases affect different functions and systems of the body. They may attack any site of the body, develop in the individuals of any age and cause different malaise commonly associated with other diseases. The most common autoimmune diseases are type I diabetes mellitus, rheumatoid arthritis, celiac disease, systemic lupus erythematosus, ulcerative colitis, psoriasis, chronic autoimmune thyroiditis.
About 8 percent of the population suffer from autoimmune diseases worldwide. Autoimmune diseases can affect any person, including children, however females suffer from these diseases more often. Why it is still unclear why females are more often affected by these diseases, it has been suggested that this can be associated with female sex hormones, which produce a direct effect on the immune system. The exact causes of autoimmune diseases are still unknown. It has been suggested that various factors can contribute in the development of these diseases including hereditary, genetic, environmental factors such as pollution, toxins, viruses, alcohol and tobacco use, pregnancy, stress, anxiety and many others.
Autoimmune diseases are diagnosed more and more often, and if untreated or diagnosed too late they can become life threatening. Despite every of them is an unique one, the majority of them manifest by similar symptoms which makes diagnostic complicated.
Tests for autoimmune diseases help to diagnose and differentiate these diseases. Tests are one of the tools available to diagnose these diseases in early stages and to prevent severe complications.
Tests for autoimmune diseases are recommended if:
- You suffer from autoimmune disease (to monitor the course of disease),
- you permanently or periodically experience fever without any clear reason,
- you experience indigestion, abdominal pain,
- a food allergy developed,
- you suffer from itchy skin,
- you experienced sudden weight loss,
- you feel permanent tiredness, which does not disappear after resting,
- you suffer from muscle and join ache
Reservation is not required, just come to the Centre and contact the reception.

The tests are usually prescribed by the family physician, therapist or other physician specialist, but you yourself also can make a decision regarding their necessity.
What factors affect the price?
The prices indicated below apply to citizens of the Republic of Lithuania and the European Union.
If you are coming from another country please check the price by telephoning or sending an email.
Why it is worth
To be examined at our Centre?
- Your tests will be carried out ensuring high quality. This is proved by ISO 15189 accreditation.
- The test results obtained in our laboratory will be explained by laboratory professionals. Such service in our country is offered only in few laboratories.
- Within 7 days after blood collection we can carry out additional tests for autoimmune diseases using the same collected blood sample. This is important for a child or for the patients coming from other cities!
- There is no risk of damaging or confounding samples during transportation, which is statistically one of the most common causes of sample damage in the laboratories.
Good to know
Symptoms characteristic for autoimmune diseases are uncertain, indistinct, characteristic for any other malaises, therefore diagnostics of these diseases can be especially difficult and more than one test can be required.
The most common symptoms are:
- fatigue;
- feeling unwell,
- weakness;
- dizziness,
- join and muscle pain;
- mild ever,
- swollen lymph nodes,
- itchy skin,
- rash.
If experience one or several of these symptoms,for longer than for several weeks without any clear reason, we recommend to contact a physician and make some tests.
There are no specific medicines for autoimmune diseases. Usually patients have to strengthen their overall health – ensure healthy nutrition, physical activity and to control symptoms. These diseases cannot be prevented, but their symptoms can be alleviated and quality of life can be improved. Autoimmune diseases in certain cases can be treated with the medicines suppressing the immune system known as immunosuppressants. Such treatment helps the affected organs. If we succeed in understanding immunological and molecular mechanism of autoimmune diseases, the gene therapy may be a promising method to cure such patients.
- The results of the tests most frequently carried out will be ready in 1 day. You may get them at the reception or we will send them by e-mail, if you wish.
- For interpretation of the test results please contact the laboratory by telephone: (8 5) 247 64 17.

The total price of vaccination services consists of the price of the consultation with a physician and the price of the vaccine. The prices of the specific service are available at Reception.
Example: If you come for a Vaxigrip vaccination, the service price will be calculated as follows:
Vaccination (not including vaccine price) – 6.22 (for those covered by insurance) – 8 Eur (for those NOT covered by insurance)
Influenza vaccine – 12.68 Eur.
In total: 6.22+12.68 = 18.90 Eur or 8+12.68 = 20.68 Eur.
There is no need for a consultation with a physician for influenza and tick born encephalitis vaccinations.
In all other cases a consultation with a physician is mandatory and involves additional costs.
However, if you are referred for a vaccination by another physician and have a referral letter, you do not need to have a consultation with one of our physicians. Please note however that the referral letter for vaccination is only valid for 24 hours from the time it is issued. The vaccine required should be indicated in the referral letter.
The above calculation is presented using conditional numbers.
