Anti Dsdna Elisa

ANA refers to Antinuclear antibodies. These are antibodies produced by the immune system of the body against protein markers found in the nucleus of its own cells. The Antinuclear Antibody Test measures the amount and pattern of antinuclear antibodies in the blood. The antinuclear antibodies bind to the contents of the nucleus of the cell. In some cases, the body produces antinuclear antibodies, which are antibodies against human antigens. There are many subtypes of ANAs such as Anti-Ro antibodies, Anti-La antibodies, Anti-Sm antibodies, Anti-RNP antibodies, Anti-Scl-70 antibodies, Anti-dsDNA antibodies, Anti-histone antibodies, Anti-centromere antibodies and Anti-sp-100 antibodies. These antibody subtypes bind to different proteins or protein complexes within the nucleus. The ANA test detects the antinuclear autoantibodies present in a patient’s blood. The standard tests used for detecting and quantifying ANAs are enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is a commonly used analytical biochemistry assay. A doctor may recommend an ANA (Elisa) Test when you have symptoms of autoimmune diseases like severe fever, difficulty in breathing, vision difficulty, hair loss, weakness, abnormal growth, severe abdominal pain and many more. When the test results are positive and show a high positive presence of antinuclear antibodies in your blood or serum. In that case, you may have severe autoimmune-related disorders and diseases like Sjogren’s syndrome, Autoimmune hepatitis, polyarthritis nodosa, rheumatoid arthritis, dermatomyositis and several other health complications. Study results among US adults aged 12 and older indicate that 13.8% have ANA-positivity, compared with 12.3% in India.
