ANAs are antibodies generated by the immune system. Normally antibodies are produced to fight infections caused by harmful bacteria or viruses, but some antibodies mistake healthy cells (especially the nuclei) as a threat and begin to attack and kill them. That's why these antibodies are called antinuclear antibodies.

A negative ANA test result means that ANAs are not present in the blood sample, which means that the probability of having an autoimmune disease is low.

But a negative ANA report does not completely exclude the possibility that you may have an autoimmune disorder. For example it is rare but is possible to have a negative ANA test result and still have lupus. In these cases other antibodies are present.

Positive ANA test results can be associated with autoimmune inflammatory diseases such as:

• Systemic lupus erythematosus
• Sjogren's syndrome
• Scleroderma or mixed connective tissue diseases
• Rheumatoid arthritis
• Addison's disease
• Autoimmune hepatitis

Some people may have false positive ANA results without having any underlying autoimmune disorders. Some infectious diseases (hepatitis B or C, HIV, syphilis) and cancer are associated with the development of ANA as well as certain drugs.

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.
