An antinuclear antibody test is a blood test that looks for certain kinds of antibodies in your body. It's also called an ANA or FANA (fluorescent antinuclear antibody) test. Antibodies are proteins that your immune system makes to fight off bacteria, viruses, and other germs.
An ANA test detects antinuclear antibodies (ANA) in your blood. Your immune system normally makes antibodies to help you fight infection. In contrast, antinuclear antibodies often attack your body's own tissues — specifically targeting each cell's nucleus.
A positive result on an ANA test means that antinuclear antibodies were found in your blood. You may get a positive result if: You have SLE (lupus). You have a different type of autoimmune disease. You have a viral infection.
A positive ANA test is usually reported as both a ratio (called a titer) and a pattern, such as smooth or speckled. Certain diseases are more likely to have certain patterns. The higher the titer, the more likely the result is a “true positive” result, meaning you have significant ANAs and an autoimmune disease.
If your doctor says your ANA test is “positive,” that means you have antinuclear antibodies in your blood — but it doesn't necessarily mean you have lupus. In fact, a large portion of patients with a positive ANA do not have lupus. Diagnosing lupus is like putting together a puzzle.
Common autoimmune disorders include:Addison disease.Celiac disease - sprue (gluten-sensitive enteropathy)Dermatomyositis.Graves disease.Hashimoto thyroiditis.Multiple sclerosis.Myasthenia gravis.Pernicious anemia.More items...•
The ANA pattern refers to the distribution of staining produced by autoantibodies reacting with antigens in HEp-2 cells.
“There's usually no single test to diagnose autoimmune disease. You have to have certain symptoms combined with specific blood markers and in some cases, even a tissue biopsy. It's not just one factor.” Diagnosis can also be difficult because these symptoms can come from other common conditions.
Causes of a false-positive ANA include infection, malignancy, and certain medications. Therefore, a positive ANA test does not equal a diagnosis of lupus or any autoimmune or connective tissue disease.
Several clinically relevant systemic autoantibodies, such as anti-nuclear antibodies (ANA) and anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA), are prevalent in COVID-19 patients up to one year after recovering from the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection.
A negative test for ANA may assist health care providers by decreasing the likelihood that a patient's symptoms are caused by an autoimmune disease. Some individuals, even those without a relative with autoimmune disease, may have a positive test for ANA and yet never develop any autoimmune disease.
What is being tested? Antinuclear antibodies (ANA) are a group of autoantibodies produced by a person's immune system when it fails to adequately distinguish between "self" and "nonself." The ANA test detects these autoantibodies in the blood. ANA react with components of the body's own healthy cells and cause signs and symptoms such as tissue and organ inflammation, joint and muscle pain, and ...
ANA Multiplex with Reflex to 11 Antibody Cascade - The ANAchoice® Cascading Reflex provides physicians with a cost-effective and medically justified approach to evaluating a patient with suspected rheumatologic disease. Eleven antibodies associated with specific rheumatologic disease entities are analyzed and resulted in sequential tiers until positive findings are reported.
The ANA with reflex blood test is used to detect antibodies that are created by a person’s immune system. When there is an autoimmune disorder present, then there will be an increased level of antibodies present in the blood in a majority of individuals. It shows that there is a systemic issue involved and is …

The Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries is a list of ICD-10 codes, organized "head to toe" into chapters and sections with coding notes and guidance for inclusions, exclusions, descriptions and more. The following references are applicable to the code R76.8:
The Index to Diseases and Injuries is an alphabetical listing of medical terms, with each term mapped to one or more ICD-10 code (s). The following references for the code R76.8 are found in the index:
The following clinical terms are approximate synonyms or lay terms that might be used to identify the correct diagnosis code:
The General Equivalency Mapping (GEM) crosswalk indicates an approximate mapping between the ICD-10 code R76.8 its ICD-9 equivalent. The approximate mapping means there is not an exact match between the ICD-10 code and the ICD-9 code and the mapped code is not a precise representation of the original code.
Detect antibodies to nuclear antigens by IFA with patterns and titers with reflex if positive to centromere B; chromatin; dsDNA; Jo-1; RNP; scl-70; Sjögren's A; Sjögren's B; Smith (Sm). If reflex testing is performed, additional charges/CPT code (s) may apply.
Turnaround time is defined as the usual number of days from the date of pickup of a specimen for testing to when the result is released to the ordering provider. In some cases, additional time should be allowed for additional confirmatory or additional reflex tests. Testing schedules may vary.
Males and females older than 80 years of age have a 50% incidence of low titer ANA. Various medications can induce a "lupoid" condition and elevated ANA titers. Usually the titer decreases following removal of the drug. Low antibody levels may be found in diseases other than connective tissue disease.
The indirect immunofluorescent test has three elements to consider in the result:
SmRNP is the best antigen for detection of antibodies to either Sm or RNP but cannot discriminate between the antibody specificities. Inclusion of SmRNP increases sensitivity while inclusion of Sm and RNP increases specificity.
Detect antibodies associated with SLE and mixed connective tissue disease. Sm antibodies are highly specific for SLE. RNP antibodies are found with a variety of rheumatoid diseases. RNP, Sm, SS-A, SS-B, Scl-70, and Jo-1 are extractable nucleoprotein complexes found in the nucleus and/or cytoplasm of substrate cells.
