ANA IFA Reflex to ANA / ENA Blot 18 Antigens (Qualitative) Profile Blot / LIA near me in Khorda
Understanding ANA IFA Reflex to ANA / ENA Blot 18 Antigens (Qualitative) Profile Blot / LIA in Khorda
What is ANA IFA Reflex to ANA / ENA Blot 18 Antigens (Qualitative) Profile Blot / LIA in Khorda?
An ANA IFA Reflex to ANA / ENA Blot 18 Antigens (Qualitative) Profile Blot / LIA is an advanced blood test available with Tata 1mg labs at an affordable price in Khorda. This test involves a two-step process, starting with the antinuclear antibodies (ANAs) detection by Immunofluorescence Assay (IFA) method and progressing to subsequent evaluation using another method called line immunoassay (LIA) to qualitatively analyze 18 specific antigens associated with autoimmune disorders such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), Sjogren's syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), Scleroderma etc. This test helps doctors understand and categorize the nature of the autoimmune response in an individual’s body.
This test is typically suggested when a doctor suspects an autoimmune disorder due to symptoms such as joint pain, fatigue, skin rashes, or inflammation. Also, it may be advised if there are risk factors such as aging, obesity, and a family history of autoimmune diseases.
What does ANA IFA Reflex to ANA / ENA Blot 18 Antigens (Qualitative) Profile Blot / LIA measure?
Contains 2 testsAn ANA IFA Reflex to ANA / ENA Blot 18 Antigens (Qualitative) Profile Blot / LIA offers initial screening of antinuclear antibodies (ANA) that are associated with autoimmune disorders. These antibodies, different from typical ones that fight off invaders in the body, can attach to structures inside cell nuclei. If ANAs are present in the blood, it may suggest that your immune system is overly sensitive, causing inflammation against your own tissues and possibly indicating autoimmune diseases. An ANA IFA Reflex to ANA / ENA Blot 18 Antigens (Qualitative) Profile Blot / LIA examines 18 different antigens, helping identify patterns related to autoimmune diseases. This comprehensive test helps in the diagnosis of conditions like Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, or other autoimmune disorders by assessing the immune system’s activity and detecting the specific antibodies that may indicate an autoimmune response.
