Antinuclear antibodies (ANA) are a type of protein that can sometimes target the body's own healthy cells, leading to autoimmune disorders like systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), rheumatoid arthritis, scleroderma, Sjogren’s syndrome, Addison disease, and autoimmune hepatitis. If you exhibit symptoms of an autoimmune disorder such as fever, skin changes, fatigue, joint pain, stiffness, and muscle pain, your healthcare provider may recommend an ANA test.

To evaluate the possible presence of autoimmune connective tissue disorders (CTDs) other than SLE, such as polymyositis, scleroderma, Sjogren's syndrome, etc.
The Anti-nuclear Antibody test measures:
Analyzes the amount and pattern of antinuclear antibodies in the blood. The immune system of the body is mainly responsible for differentiating between the body’s own cells and foreign cells, like pathogens. Once the foreign cells have been identified, they are then targeted and destroyed. In autoimmune disorders, the immune system is not able to recognize certain cells as the body’s own cells and starts an immune response against them, which results in their destruction. These antinuclear antibodies (ANA) are autoantibodies that are produced against protein markers present in the nucleus of certain cells in the body. They are produced in a number of autoimmune diseases but are most commonly produced in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE).
