    What is Anti-Nuclear Antibody (ANA) Test (EIA) Test?

    The Anti-Nuclear Antibody (ANA) test is a blood test that detects the presence of antinuclear antibodies, which are proteins mistakenly produced by the immune system when it attacks healthy cells in the body. Normally, the immune system generates antibodies to fight harmful substances like bacteria and viruses, but in autoimmune diseases, it targets the body’s own tissues.

    This test plays a significant role in diagnosing autoimmune diseases, which develop when the immune system harms its own tissues and causes symptoms such as fatigue, inflammation, and pain. The ANA test is often used to detect lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, Sjögren’s syndrome, scleroderma, autoimmune hepatitis, and other autoimmune conditions.

    A positive ANA test signifies the presence of antinuclear antibodies and may indicate an autoimmune disease, an infection, or another medical issue. However, a positive result does not confirm a specific diagnosis. A negative ANA test reduces the likelihood of autoimmune diseases but does not completely rule them out.

    The ANA test is combined with other tests and a detailed review of your health history to accurately determine the cause of your symptoms. Interestingly, some healthy individuals, particularly older adults, may test positive for ANA without having any autoimmune condition.

    In Noida, the Anti-Nuclear Antibody (ANA) test at home includes prompt sample collection and ensures that you receive your test results quickly.

    Anti-Nuclear Antibody (ANA) Test (EIA) Test Parameters

    The Anti-Nuclear Antibody (ANA) test evaluates one parameter: the presence of antinuclear antibodies in the blood. In addition, it measures the titre levels of these antibodies, which help determine their overall concentration in the system.

    This test serves as an essential tool for identifying autoimmune diseases, with a particular focus on diagnosing systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Depending on the individual’s symptoms, it is often recommended to combine this test with other tests to better understand the potential presence of additional autoimmune conditions. For a clearer picture of inflammation and immune activity, doctors frequently recommend conducting related tests such as the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) or C-reactive protein (CRP) alongside the ANA test.

    The presence of antinuclear antibodies can sometimes be detected in otherwise healthy individuals who do not exhibit symptoms of disease. This becomes more prevalent as people age; for instance, by the age of 70, nearly 30% of women and 20% of men might test positive for ANA without having any autoimmune condition.

    Anti-Nuclear Antibody (ANA) Test (EIA) Test Preparation

    Here’s how you can prepare for the Anti-Nuclear Antibody (ANA) test at home by following these key points:

    • Prerequisites

    You don’t need to follow any special prerequisites, like fasting, before the ANA test.

    • Best Time to Get Tested

    The ANA test can be performed at any time during the day.

    • Who Should Get an Anti-Nuclear Antibody (ANA) Test?

    This test is particularly useful for those experiencing ongoing fatigue, unexplained joint pain or stiffness, unusual skin discolouration or rashes, recurring fevers, muscle soreness, or overall physical weakness, which might indicate an underlying autoimmune issue.

    • Cautions Before Taking an Anti-Nuclear Antibody (ANA) Test

    There are no specific precautions or additional steps you need to take before getting the ANA test.

    Why Take the Anti-Nuclear Antibody (ANA) Test (EIA) Test?

    The Anti-Nuclear Antibody (ANA) test is often advised for individuals showing the following symptoms, which may indicate an underlying autoimmune condition:

    ● Persistent fatigue that doesn’t improve even with sufficient rest or sleep.

    ● Rashes or unusual skin changes, such as discoloured patches or blisters.

    ● Fever that has no clear infectious source or explanation.

    ● Muscle pain or unexpected weakness, interfering with daily activities.

    ● Joint swelling, pain, or stiffness, especially in areas like the hands and wrists.

    This test is essential in diagnosing a range of autoimmune disorders, such as:

    Rheumatoid Arthritis : A condition causing joint inflammation, stiffness, and swelling.

    Autoimmune Hepatitis : The immune system mistakenly attacks the liver, leading to chronic inflammation.

    Sjögren’s Syndrome : A disease that affects the body’s moisture-producing glands, causing dry eyes and mouth.

    Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) : Impacts multiple organs, including the kidneys, skin, and joints.

    Scleroderma : Causes thickening and hardening of the skin and internal organs.

    If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, the ANA test can help identify the underlying cause and guide in creating a personalised treatment plan.
