What is ANTI NUCLEAR ANTIBODY (ANA) PROFILE (15)?

The Anti Nuclear Antibody (ANA) Profile (15) is a comprehensive blood test that screens for ANA and then identifies specific types of autoantibodies if ANA is positive. These antibodies target components within the body's own cells, indicating potential autoimmune activity.

Why is this test important?

This profile is crucial for diagnosing and differentiating various autoimmune diseases, such as Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), Sjogren's Syndrome, Scleroderma, and Mixed Connective Tissue Disease. It helps clinicians understand the specific autoimmune patterns present, guiding treatment and management.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required.

Do I need to fast before my blood test?
