ANA , ANTI NUCLEAR ANTIBODIES (IF)

An ANA test or antinuclear antibody test is a blood test that detects antinuclear antibodies in your blood. Antibodies are proteins produced by the immune system to attack foreign things such as viruses and bacteria. However, an antinuclear antibody destroys healthy cells instead. It is dubbed "antinuclear" because it targets the nucleus of the cell, which is responsible for delivering signals required for key cell processes.

It's normal to have some antinuclear antibodies in your blood. However, a big number may indicate an autoimmune condition. An autoimmune illness occurs when your immune system mistakenly attacks healthy cells in your organs and tissues. These disorders can have major health consequences.

The ANA (IF) test price in Delhi generally ranges between ₹2000 and ₹3500, depending on whether it is done alone or as part of other blood tests. Test reports are usually available on the same day or within 24 hours. You can easily book an ANA  test near you at City X-Ray through online booking, phone call & WhatsApp.

What is the ANA Test?

An Anti-Nuclear Antibody (ANA) by IFA - End Point Titer test is used to detect antinuclear antibodies (ANA) in the bloodstream. These antibodies frequently assault your body's own tissues, precisely attacking each cell's nucleus. This test is used to identify autoimmune diseases such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, scleroderma, and Sjogren's syndrome. An Anti-Nuclear Antibody (ANA) by IFA - End Point Titer test detects antibodies that target specific components within the cell nucleus. The nucleus of the cell contains the genetic material and is essential for cellular activity, making antibodies against it especially important. This test can help identify a variety of autoimmune illnesses, such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and scleroderma. An Anti-Nuclear Antibody (ANA) IF - End Point Titer test cannot confirm a specific diagnosis, but it can rule out certain disorders.
