Overview

About ANA (Antinuclear Antibody) by ELISA

The ANA test screens for autoimmune activity, where your immune system mistakenly targets your own cells. It is commonly ordered when a patient has unexplained joint pain, fatigue, skin rashes, or other symptoms suggestive of conditions like lupus.

A positive ANA does not confirm a specific diagnosis on its own, since it can appear in several autoimmune conditions or even in healthy people at low levels. Your doctor will usually follow up with more specific antibody tests to narrow things down.

Screens your blood for antibodies linked to autoimmune conditions.
