ANA-PROFILE

The ANA test, or antinuclear antibody test, is a vital blood examination offered by Hypro Diagnostics to detect the presence of antinuclear antibodies in the bloodstream. These antibodies, essential components of the immune system, typically defend against foreign invaders like viruses and bacteria. However, when antinuclear antibodies target the nuclei of healthy cells, it signals a potential autoimmune disorder. While a certain level of these antibodies is normal, an elevated count may indicate an autoimmune condition where the immune system mistakenly attacks cells in various organs and tissues. Known by alternative names such as the antinuclear antibody panel, fluorescent antinuclear antibody (FANA), or ANA reflexive panel, this test helps Hypro Diagnostics identify and monitor these antibodies, providing valuable insights for early intervention and management of associated health risks.
