Description:
Antinuclear Antibody (ANA) Panel Blood Test
This package looks for several types of antinuclear antibodies (ANA) in a blood sample. ANA are autoantibodies produced by a person's immune system that attack the body's own cells and tissues. Measuring ANA can help identify when a person has an autoimmune disorder such as systemic lupus, Sjogren's syndrome, scleroderma, rheumatoid arthritis, Raynaud Syndrome, and polymyositis. The results of these tests can also help to distinguish between different types of disorders that have similar symptoms.
The ANA Panel includes:
- Anti Centromere B Antibodies
- Anti-dsDNA Antibodies
- Anti-Jo-1
- RNP Antibodies
- Smith Antibodies
- Antiscleroderma-70 (Scl) Antibodies
- Sjogren's Anti-SS-A
- Sjogren's Anti-SS-B
This test can be ordered when someone is having symptoms that are typically associated with autoimmune disorders. These symptoms can include fever, fatigue, weakness, joint pain, rash, hair loss, muscle pain, tingling or numbness in the hands or feet, and inflammation of various tissues or organs throughout the body. An ANA panel like this one that looks for multiple separate antibody types is often done as a follow-up to a positive result on a basic Antinuclear Antibody Test. Test results should be interpreted by a person's doctor.
Turnaround for test results is typically 3-5 business days.
