ANA or antinuclear antibodies are generated by the white blood cells. WBCs produce antibodies when there are any pathogens present, like harmful bacteria or any foreign body. Antibodies are basically a type of protein, and they destroy the particle, causing harm to the body. Sometimes, the immune system considers the healthy cells to be a foreign body and attacks it, producing autoantibodies. Everyone has low levels of antinuclear antibodies present in the body. Elevated levels of ANA can signify an inflammation, and the cause must be identified for prompt treatment.

The doctor will prescribe an ANA test to confirm autoimmune conditions like:

• Rheumatoid arthritis
• Addison disease
• Systemic lupus
• Scleroderma
• Autoimmune hepatitis
• Sjögren’s syndrome
• Raynaud phenomenon
• Mixed connective tissue disorder

Some symptoms typically signify the presence of an autoimmune disease. The symptoms include:

• Fever
• Bloating
• Abdominal pain
• Discolouration of the skin
• Consistent joint pain
• Exhaustion
• Rashes or bumps on the skin

You do not have to make any special preparations before the ANA test. Some medication or health supplements might affect the ANA results. Inform the doctor of all medicines that you are taking before the test, so they can make suggestions and recommendations for accurate test results.

During the ANA Test

The ANA test is a blood test. Once the test is booked with PharmEasy Labs, a phlebotomist will arrive at the location to collect the blood. They use sterilized needles and gloves to draw blood from the arm, using a vein finder device. The blood sample is carefully stored in a barcoded vial, and then transported to the laboratory for testing.
