Anti-Nuclear Antibody (ANA-Elisa) Test in Gorakhpur - Price & Details

ANA refers to antinuclear antibodies; although the word antibody refers to the proteins that are naturally released by our immune system to protect us from foreign substances like bacteria and viruses, autoantibodies refer to antibodies that recognize healthy proteins as intruders and often attack the nucleus of each cell. So, ANAs are capable of triggering our immune system in such a way that it harms our own body and health.

Some common autoimmune diseases that ANA tests can detect include Addison's disease, Celiac disease, Dermatomyositis, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, Graves’ disease, Multiple sclerosis, and Inflammatory bowel diseases (e.g. Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis). Autoimmune diseases not only hamper daily activities but can also lead to further complications and increase the risk of cancer and cardiovascular diseases. However, a person not having any autoimmune disease might also test positive for ANAs.

With regular discounts, all diagnostic tests, including the ANA tests in Gorakhpur become quite accessible and affordable. At PharmEasy, we focus on ensuring that you have access to precise tests, which is why all samples are collected while following extreme health and safety precautions. Moreover, we process test samples in fully automated and calibrated machines operated by expert lab technicians with over 30 years of experience and send the results of these directly to your email ID as soon as they are available.

Since ANA tests are used to detect the presence of autoimmune diseases, doctors generally order the test when they notice symptoms such as - tiredness, frequent fevers, joint/muscle pain, weakness, stiffness and swelling in joints, skin issues, digestive problems or abdominal pain, rash on cheeks or nose bridge, and light sensitivity.

Generally, positive ANA reports indicate the presence of an autoimmune disease, but sometimes, people might get false positive results. This is why we recommend you talk to your doctor to get an expert diagnosis and professional advice to accurately detect your condition.

Since the ANA tests are simple blood tests that only require your blood sample, you do not need to fast or undergo any special preparation.

After you have booked your ANA tests in Gorakhpur, PharmEasy will assign a vaccinated and expert phlebotomist to visit your home to safely collect all test samples. They will use vein finders to locate your veins precisely and then will draw blood using sealed and sterilised needles.
