The ANA test is also known as FANA (Fluorescent Antinuclear Antibody) and Antinuclear Antibody Panel, and is generally prescribed for symptoms such as:

• Changes in skin colour
• Recurring fever, fatigue
• Muscle and joint pain
• Joint swelling or stiffness
• Butterfly-shaped rashes on the cheeks and nose bridge

Some of the autoimmune conditions that the ANA test detects are:

• Polymyositis
• Dermatomyositis
• Systemic lupus erythematosus
• Addison’s disease
• Sjogren’s syndrome
• Raynaud’s phenomenon
• Rheumatoid arthritis
• Scleroderma

The ANA test enables the assessment of the amount of antinuclear antibodies in the blood (titer) and their specific pattern. This ensures that early signs of health problems like autoimmune diseases and viral infections are detected. It also enables timely intervention to prevent their progression. If the ANA test result is positive, further blood tests can be carried out to check for specific antinuclear antibodies linked to certain diseases. Antinuclear antibodies can also be related to infectious diseases, cancers, and specific medications.

No special preparation is required for the ANA test. However, it's important to let your doctor know if you're currently taking any medications, as certain pills can influence the test results. So, ensure that your doctor is pre-informed of your medical history and current medication plans.

During the ANA Test

Once you have booked the ANA test, a vaccinated phlebotomist will be assigned to your test order. They will visit your registered location at the scheduled time and follow all the safety protocols and NABL guidelines. They will wear masks and gloves during the process and use fresh test kits, including the Vein Finder tool, to draw a blood sample. The whole procedure is quick, typically taking about 3-5 minutes.
