The white blood cells of the immune system generate antibodies when there are any signs of infection or a foreign body. Antibodies are a kind of protein that the WBC produces to fight off infections. In some cases, the body mistakens the healthy cells to be foreign bodies and attacks them. In this case, the white blood cells produce autoantibodies to attack the healthy cells. While everyone has some levels of ANA present in the body, high levels can indicate an infection or an autoimmune condition.

The doctor prescribes an ANA test if they observe any symptoms of an autoimmune condition. The symptoms include:

• Fatigue
• Skin rashes
• Fever
• Skin sores
• Hair loss
• Runny nose
• Abdominal discomfort
• Diarrhoea
• Itchy or red eyes
• Numbness in the hands and feet
• Difficulty in hearing
• Sensitivity to light

The test will be prescribed to determine autoimmune conditions like:

• Addison disease
• Systemic lupus
• Sjögren’s syndrome
• Rheumatoid arthritis
• Autoimmune hepatitis
• Dermatomyositis
• Polymyositis
• Scleroderma
• Raynaud phenomenon

No special preparation has to be done before the ANA test. Some medicines like anti-seizure or blood pressure medicines can affect the test results, generating a false positive. You must inform the doctor about the medicines so that they can make the necessary recommendations.
