Which Blood Test Can Detect EDS Syndrome?
Hi i hv looking at several things online. I hv had 2 blood test in the last 6 months, my antibody count is not in range. No RA No Lupus. I seem to think I may have Ehlers Danlos Syn. My G-mother died at 32 heart my Dad at 50 with heart (1964) Would they have known about EDS then? My symtoms are loose skin, my skin on hands thin and tears easily. Facial bleeding when picking leaves blood under skin. Bood to surfaces just kissing my wife! My joints ache all the time. What is the blood test for EDS?

Hello..
It is more likely that you have some form of connective tissue disease.
I advise you to consult a physician for thorough clinical examination.
If criteria matches for ehler dhanlos then
dna analysis will be done for exact identification of disease.
Hope my answer clears your doubt..if you have anymore queries I would be happy to answer..
