What is an ANA test?

ANA Test (Anti-nuclear Antibody) is a blood-based test that helps to detect any kind of autoimmune disorder in the patient’s blood. An auto-immune disorder is an abnormal condition where our immune system attacks the healthy protein cells in our body.

Our immune system forms several antibodies that help our body to fight infection. But often these protective antibodies turn into autoantibody and target our healthy cells and tissues mistakenly. These autoantibodies can damage our skin, muscles, joints, and other body parts.

The antinuclear antibody is the type of an autoantibody that functions against certain components found in the nucleus of a cell, hence, it is called ‘anti-nuclear’. These Antinuclear antibodies can cause some autoimmune disorders such as.

• Systemic lupus erythematosus
• Sjögren’s Syndrome
• Rheumatoid Arthritis, Polymyositis
• Scleroderma, Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis
• Juvenile Diabetes Mellitus
• Addison Disease
• Vitiligo
• Pernicious Anemia
• Glomerulonephritis
• Pulmonary Fibrosis

ANA test is also known as Anti-nuclear Antibody Panel.
