Antinuclear antibodies attack different parts of the body and cause various autoimmune disorders with different symptoms.

If the blood sample is to be used only for an ANA test fasting is not required, you can eat and drink normally before the test. If the sample will be used for other additional tests you may have to fast for a time prior to the test. In that case your doctor will let you know. Inform your doctor if you are taking any medications.
