What is Anti Nuclear Antibody (ANA) by ELISA ?
The Anti-Nuclear Antibody (ANA) test by ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) is a blood test used to detect the presence of autoantibodies that target the nuclei of cells. These autoantibodies are often associated with autoimmune diseases, where the immune system mistakenly attacks the body’s own tissues. The ELISA method is a highly sensitive and automated technique that identifies and quantifies these antibodies in the bloodstream. This test is typically ordered when a patient exhibits symptoms suggestive of autoimmune diseases, such as chronic fatigue, joint pain, unexplained fever, or rashes, particularly the butterfly-shaped rash on the face often associated with lupus. It is also used to monitor disease activity and guide treatment decisions in patients with confirmed autoimmune disorders. While the ANA test by ELISA is a valuable screening tool, additional specific tests and clinical evaluations are often required to establish a definitive diagnosis.
