Anti Nuclear Antibody (ANA-Elisa) Test in Warangal - Price & Details

PharmEasy Labs will look into your blood sample and see if there are certain kinds of antibodies in your body. These can best be described as proteins that are meant to fight off bacteria, viruses, and other germs. However, there are times when your body might mistake parts of your own body for foreign invaders. This is when it releases autoantibodies. The problem with these special antibodies is that they may attack your cells and tissues. From joints to skin to muscles, it can have an impact all over your body. These autoantibodies are referred to as Antinuclear Antibodies as they keep a check on the nucleus and destroy it.

The ANA test results are either going to be positive or negative. In case you test positive, there are antinuclear antibodies present in your blood. If the case is reversed, there are no antinuclear antibodies in the blood, and you're doing just fine. Its presence would mean that you have a possibility of catching some serious health issues such as Systemic Lupus Erythematosus and Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis. These issues will only arise when antinuclear antibodies are present in excess in the body. So, if you're showing symptoms of an autoimmune disorder, it's vital to take the ANA test on time and get the required solution before it gets too late.

• Muscle pain
