If your body is showing symptoms of an autoimmune disorder, you will have to do an ANA test. The symptoms will also depend upon the part of the body that's affected. The symptoms will include the following:

• Fever
• Rash, blisters, or skin colour changes
• Fatigue
• Joint pain, stiffness, and swelling
• Muscle pain
• Abdominal pain
• Swollen glands

ANA testing doesn't diagnose a specific disease. It won't be able to monitor your disease or response to treatment.

No fasting is required before you go for this test. You don't need any special preparations for an ANA test.

During the ANA Test

An experienced phlebotomist will be needed to do the test. He will consider hygiene as his topmost priority during the procedure. With a vein finder, he will locate your vein and use a syringe to draw the blood. Then, the blood will be put in a collection tube and it will be sent for examination from PharmEasy Labs.

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.
