ANA with Reflex
$60.99
The ANA (Antinuclear Antibody) with Reflex test is a blood test used to detect autoimmune disorders. It is commonly recommended for individuals experiencing unexplained symptoms like chronic fatigue, joint pain, rashes, or other signs associated with conditions such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, or other autoimmune diseases.
Who is it for? This test is for individuals showing symptoms of autoimmune diseases or those with a family history of such conditions.
What is it for? The test helps detect the presence of antinuclear antibodies that may attack the body’s tissues, indicating an autoimmune response. If ANA antibodies are found, further testing may be triggered (reflex) to determine the specific type of autoimmune disease.
Outcome A positive result may suggest an autoimmune disorder and guide further investigations, while a negative result typically indicates the absence of autoimmune activity.
