Anti Nuclear Antibody (ANA-Elisa) Test In Bengaluru - Price & Details

Diagnostic facilities and hospitals in Bengaluru do an Antinuclear Antibody Test (ANA) to identify inflammation within the body. An antinuclear antibody (ANA) test checks your blood for antinuclear antibodies. If your test results for ANAs are positive, you could have an autoimmune condition. When you have an autoimmune disease, your immune system wrongly targets your cells, tissues, and organs.

The ANA test is needed if the doctor wants confirmation of whether a person has an autoimmune disorder. Some such disorders are-

• Addison Disease
• Rheumatoid arthritis
• Systemic lupus erythematosus
• Scleroderma
• Autoimmune hepatitis
• Sjogren's Syndrome
• Mixed connective tissue disease
• Raynaud's phenomenon

Autoimmune disorders usually display some symptoms. The ANA test may be suggested if you show the following signs-

• Persistent joint ache
• Fever
• Skin discolouration
• Rashes, bumps or blisters on your skin
• Bloating
• Fatigue
• Abdominal pain

Consult your doctor soon after you notice these symptoms.

No preparation or fasting is necessary for the ANA test. If the doctor has suggested other tests, and any if these tests require preparation, you will be informed of it by your doctor. Let your doctor also know if you are taking any medication for a disorder or health supplements because certain components in some medicines can affect your ANA level.

During the ANA Test

The ANA test requires a sample of your blood. The phlebotomist will reach your house at the time you choose while booking the test. A small quantity of your blood will be drawn from the vein in your arm using a freshly unsealed needle and syringe. A vein finder is used to effectively locate the vein. The sample is sealed in a new tube and is taken to the laboratory where it will be analyzed.

The positive presence of antinuclear antibodies can affect the patient's health. At the same time, negative presence does not affect the patient's health—the normal ranges for detecting antinuclear antibodies.

• The average or negative presence of ANA titer is measured as less than or equal to 1:40.
• The average significant results of ANA titer are measured as 1:80 or lower.
• The strongly positive ANA titer is measured in between the 1:160.

The normal values, parameters, and reference ranges of the test may vary from lab to lab. Please refer to the ranges mentioned in the report and consult a doctor to understand the interpretation of lab reports.

There are mild to severe health problems due to the high positive presence of antinuclear antibodies in the blood. At the same time, the negative value does not affect anyone's health.

• High positive presence of ANA (Elisa)

1. Sjögren's syndrome: It is a type of autoimmune disease and chronic disorder that causes insufficient moisture production in certain body glands, including the saliva-producing and tear-producing glands. In addition to Sjögren's syndrome, there are other related diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis and lupus.
2. Scleroderma: A chronic but rare autoimmune disease in which normal tissue is replaced with thick tissue with extra collagen. It most often affects the skin, and scleroderma also can affect many other parts of the body like joints, bones, etc.
