ANA measures the markers listed in its panel and reports each value with a reference range. Read on for what the test checks and how to prepare.

What the ANA Screens For and Why

Because the ANA looks at a defined set of markers, it screens a specific area rather than every possible condition. The ANA is often used to check a particular set of markers when there is a reason to look more closely. Screening results from the ANA are most useful when reviewed alongside your history by a healthcare provider. The ANA screens for values in the markers it measures rather than confirming a specific diagnosis on its own.

How the ANA Is Performed

A trained professional collects blood sample into a labeled container, and the collection usually takes only a few minutes. Follow the lab's instructions. The sample is then sent to a licensed laboratory, where the ANA is analyzed. No special equipment is needed for the ANA beyond what a routine sample collection requires.

What the ANA Can and Cannot Show

For questions the ANA cannot answer, a provider may recommend other tests or an evaluation. The ANA can show how the markers it measures compare to the laboratory's reference range. The ANA cannot by itself diagnose a condition or replace a conversation with a healthcare provider. What the ANA can tell you depends on the markers included and the quality of the sample.
