ANAs are a type of antibody produced by the immune system. Antibodies are proteins that protect the body from pathogens, like viruses and harmful bacteria.

However, some antibodies mistakenly attack the healthy tissues, especially the nucleus of healthy cells, causing autoimmune diseases. That is why these harmful antibodies are called anti-nuclear antibodies.

Normally, a small number of antinuclear antibodies may be present in the blood, and the level tends to increase with age. Having ANAs in the blood doesn't always mean you have an autoimmune disease. But if the number is too high, it can be a sign of an autoimmune disorder, which can lead to serious health problems.

An ANA test assists in diagnosing autoimmune diseases such as:

• Systemic lupus erythematosus- A chronic inflammatory disease that causes fatigue, fever, weakness, skin rashes, joint pain, and organ damage.
• Rheumatoid arthritis- It causes joint pain and swelling in wrists, hands and feet.
• Scleroderma- A rare disease that causes abnormal thickening and hardening of skin and tissues. It can affect muscles, blood vessels,  heart, lungs, kidney, gastrointestinal tract, and joints.
• Sjogren's syndrome- A condition that reduces the amount of moisture production of tear glands, salivary glands and other parts of the body.
• Addison disease- It affects the adrenal glands, causing fatigue and weakness.
• Autoimmune hepatitis- This condition causes swelling in the liver.

ANAs may also be produced in blood under the influence of some medicines.

An ANA test cannot diagnose an autoimmune disease on its own. Doctors take into account your ANA test report along with your symptoms, physical examination and other tests to diagnose an autoimmune disorder.

The price of an ANA test may vary due to different factors. However, the standard cost for an ANA test at PharmEasy in Navi Mumbai typically falls within the range of INR 375 to INR 935. Feel free to compare ANA test prices across major cities in India.

Doctors may ask for an ANAs test if these symptoms of autoimmune diseases occur:

• Tiredness
• Fever
• Rash
• Joint pain and swelling
• Abdominal pain
• Muscle pain
• Swelling in glands

No fasting or any other preparation is required for the ANA test. If your blood sample will be used for additional tests, you may need to fast for a time before the test.  Inform the doctor if you are taking any medication or under treatment, as some medicines can cause a positive ANA test result.
