Experiencing symptoms like joint pain, fatigue,
skin rashes, or unexplained fevers? An Antinuclear Antibody (ANA) test may be
needed. This blood test detects specific antibodies that target the body’s own
cell nuclei. Elevated ANA levels can indicate autoimmune disorders such as
lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and Sjögren’s syndrome. Timely medical evaluation is essential for an
accurate diagnosis and appropriate management, especially when these symptoms
persist or worsen. ANA testing plays a critical role in identifying autoimmune
diseases, allowing for early intervention and symptom control.
