Your doctor may order this test for you if he suspects that you may be having symptoms of an autoimmune disorder. An ANA test basically looks for antinuclear antibodies in your blood. This test is ordered if you may have SLE, also called as Systemic Lupus Erythematosus a chronic disease that affects joints, kidneys, blood vessels and the brain. Rheumatoid Arthritis; a degenerative disease that damages the joints in hands and feet. Also used in Sjorgen’s Syndrome.
An autoimmune disorder causes your body to fight it’s own cells, tissues and organs resulting in serious health conditions. Antibodies are basically proteins produced by your immune system to fight foreign bodies, however in an autoimmune disorder, the body fights your own healthy cells by attacking the nucleus of these cells – hence the term anti-nuclear. Presence of antinuclear antibodies in the test means that the person is most likely suffering from an autoimmune condition.
