ANTI NUCLEAR ANTIBODY (ANA)

What is an Anti Nuclear Antibody (ANA) Test?

An Anti Nuclear Antibody (ANA) Test is a blood test that checks for antinuclear antibodies in your body. These antibodies mistakenly attack the body's own cells and tissues, which may indicate an autoimmune disorder.

Doctors often recommend an ANA test when a person has symptoms that suggest conditions like lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, scleroderma, or other autoimmune diseases. The test helps in early diagnosis and supports further medical evaluation.

An ANA test alone does not confirm a specific disease, but it provides important information that helps doctors determine the next steps in diagnosis and treatment.
 

Anti Nuclear Antibody (ANA) Test Parameters

The ANA test generally includes:

• ANA Screening – Detects the presence of antinuclear antibodies in the blood
• ANA Titre – Measures the concentration of these antibodies
• ANA Pattern – Identifies the staining pattern, which may help indicate certain autoimmune conditions

The results are interpreted along with symptoms, medical history, and other laboratory investigations.
