Our white blood cells produce antibodies, a protein that helps to fight off infection. In case of an autoimmune condition, the body produces autoantibodies to attack the healthy cells. These autoantibodies are also known as antinuclear antibodies, as they attack the nucleus of healthy cells. While everyone has some levels of ANA, levels higher than normal indicate an infection or some autoimmune condition.

Doctors will prescribe the ANA test as it helps to diagnose the following health conditions:

• Sjogren’s syndrome
• Addison’s disease
• Rheumatoid arthritis
• Scleroderma
• Dermatomyositis
• Polymyositis
• Raynaud’s phenomenon
• Systemic lupus erythematosus

Some indications of an autoimmune disease are:

• Fever
• Chills
• Skin rashes
• Hair loss
• Diarrhoea
• Joint pain
• Fatigue
• Skin discolouration

While there is no preparation that needs to be done before the ANA test, some medicines can impact the test results. You should inform the doctor of any anti-seizure or blood pressure medicines that you are taking, so they can make the necessary recommendations.

During the ANA Test

The ANA test is a blood test, and once the booking has been made, a phlebotomist arrives at your home to collect the blood sample. The test does not take very long, and will be done in 5 to 10 minutes. To maintain patient safety and hygiene, the phlebotomists use disposable needles and gloves. They also carry a unique tool called a vein finder device that helps them locate the vein in the forearm to draw blood from.
