ANAs stand for antinuclear antibodies. Antibodies protect and keep the body healthy by attacking foreign proteins like bacteria or viruses. Our body's immune system produces many of these antibodies to fight infections. But sometimes, these antibodies recognize healthy proteins as intruders, and they are autoantibodies. Those abnormal autoantibodies that acknowledge each cell's nucleus as a threat are called antinuclear antibodies or ANAs. ANAs can trigger a process of inflammation in which the immune system itself has the ability to harm the body by causing autoimmune diseases.
Some autoimmune diseases include:
- Addison disease
- Celiac disease - sprue (gluten-sensitive enteropathy)
- Dermatomyositis
- Graves' disease
- Hashimoto's thyroiditis
- Inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis)
- Multiple sclerosis
Apart from hampering daily activities, autoimmune diseases can lead to many serious complications if left untreated. It can increase the risk of cancer and cardiovascular disease and reduce overall mobility. Many people who do not haven't autoimmune disease may have a positive ANA test, especially women older than 65. Some drugs and xenobiotics also have contributed to the development of autoimmunity and ANA synthesis.

Test Necessity
Your doctor might recommend an ANA test if you have the symptoms of an autoimmune disorder, such as:
- Tiredness
- Recurring or persistent fever
- Weakness
- Joints and/or muscle pain
- Stiffness or swelling in joints
- Skin problems
- Abdominal pain or digestive issues
- A red rash on the cheeks and bridge of the nose that looks like a butterfly
- Light sensitivity
A positive ANA test report indicates that you may have autoimmune diseases like- psoriatic arthritis, connective tissue diseases (CTD), multiple sclerosis, autoimmune typhoid, etc. Although some individuals may have a false positive ANA report without any underlying autoimmune disorder.
If you are concerned about your test results, talk to your doctor. She/he is the expert to guide well.
Test Preparation
If the blood sample is used only for the ANA test, there is no need for fasting or any other preparation. Since the ANA test alone does not detect any disease, your doctor may ask you to do other tests along with it. In that case, your doctor will tell you what you have to do before the test.
During the ANA Test
On the day of the test (as selected by you while booking), the phlebotomist from PharmEasy Labs will visit your home. A vein finder will be used to accurately locate the vein in your arm from which blood will be collected. Moreover, only freshly unsealed needles and syringes are used. The sample too is sealed before transportation to the lab.
