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

In general, your body produces antibodies that are only destined to attack foreign elements and not its own cells. However, sometimes your body may produce antinuclear antibodies which attack your cells, especially the nucleus which is the centre of the cell. This can cause severe health issues and lead to autoimmune disorders.

Usually, your bloodstream may contain some antinuclear antibodies. The titre value of normal ANA levels is 1:40 or lower. This means that the reports are negative. If some amount of antinuclear antibodies are present, a titre value of 1:80 or lower is considered to be insignificant. Values higher than 1:160 are considered strongly positive and need immediate assistance.

The ANA test is done with the help of a common diagnostic technique called enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay or ELISA. This test is used to detect the interaction between antibodies and antigens. The results are usually easier to understand and with PharmEasy, they are ensured to be highly accurate.

ANA test is an important diagnostic test to detect several autoimmune disorders such as:

• Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)
• Scleroderma
• Sjögren's syndrome
• Juvenile arthritis
• Polymyositis and dermatomyositis

Since the results are confirmatory, ANA test reports can be directly referred to by your healthcare provider for further diagnosis.

You will be asked to opt for an ANA test if you are having symptoms like severe fever, vision difficulties, breathing difficulties, abnormal growth, loss of hair and appetite, weakness, severe abdominal pain, and other related symptoms.

As there is no fasting required for the ANA test, you can have normal meals before and after the test. If there are any other preparations needed, your healthcare provider must let you know.
