Doctors recommend an ANA test if someone has unexplained symptoms, including rashes, fever, fatigue, joint pain, and muscle pain. An ANA test helps diagnose autoimmune diseases. 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.

During the ANA Test

A phlebotomist from PharmEasy Labs will reach your place at the predetermined time. A vein finding tool will be used to find the vein in your arm which is the best for drawing blood from. The phlebotomist will use new needles, syringes and a fresh collection tube for storing the sample. All of this will be done in a matter of seconds.

The positive presence of antinuclear antibodies can affect the patient's health. At the same time, negative presence does not affect the patient's health—the normal ranges for detecting antinuclear antibodies.

• The average or negative presence of ANA titer is measured as less than or equal to 1:40.
• The average significant results of ANA titer are measured as 1:80 or lower.
• The strongly positive ANA titer is measured in between the 1:160.

The normal values, parameters, and reference ranges of the test may vary from lab to lab. Please refer to the ranges mentioned in the report and consult a doctor to understand the interpretation of lab reports.
