Overview
The ANA test helps the doctor diagnose autoimmune conditions like:
- Addison’s disease
- Sjogren’s syndrome
- Raynaud’s phenomenon
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Scleroderma
- Polymyositis
- Dermatomyositis
- Systemic lupus erythematosus
The human body has white blood cells that produce a protein called antibodies which helps to fight off infections. Autoimmune conditions are specific diseases in which the body considers its own healthy cells to be foreign particles, and attacks it. To attack these healthy cells, the body produces autoantibodies. ANA or antinuclear antibodies is the name given to the autoantibodies as it attacks the nucleus of the healthy cells.
