What is an ENA Blood Test?
The ENA Blood Test is a blood test used to detect specific antibodies in the blood that are directed against extractable nuclear antigens. These antibodies are often present in individuals with certain autoimmune diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), Sjögren's syndrome, scleroderma, and polymyositis.
Why should you have the ENA Blood Test done?
Testing for ENA is important for the diagnosis and management of autoimmune diseases. It assists in identifying the specific disease affecting a patient, which is crucial for planning treatment and monitoring disease activity over time.
What does it indicate?
The presence of specific antibodies against extractable nuclear antigens can indicate an autoimmune disease. Each antibody is associated with specific conditions, and their detection can help in the differential diagnosis of autoimmune diseases.
What does a positive ENA Blood Test mean?
A positive ENA Blood Test means that antibodies against one or more extractable nuclear antigens have been found in the blood, suggesting the presence of an autoimmune disease.
What does a negative ENA Blood Test mean?
A negative ENA Blood Test means that no antibodies against extractable nuclear antigens were found. This may indicate the absence of the tested autoimmune diseases, but it does not rule out other conditions or the need for further testing.
