ANA (IFA)

The ANA test is a crucial diagnostic tool utilized by Hypro Diagnostics to identify autoimmune disorders by detecting antinuclear antibodies in the bloodstream. Typically, our immune system produces antibodies to combat infections, but the presence of antinuclear antibodies can signal a misdirected immune response, targeting the body’s own tissues and, specifically, cell nuclei. A positive ANA test often points to an autoimmune reaction, indicating an unintentional attack on healthy cells. Hypro Diagnostics commonly employs ANA tests when investigating potential autoimmune conditions such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, or scleroderma. It’s noteworthy that some individuals may test positive on the ANA test even without having an autoimmune disease, introducing an additional layer of complexity to the diagnostic process. Have you or someone you know undergone an ANA test with Hypro Diagnostics?
