🧬 ANA with Reflex — A Key Test for Autoimmune Screening

Antinuclear Antibody (ANA) with Reflex is a foundational blood test used to screen for autoimmune diseases, such as Lupus (SLE), Sjögren’s syndrome, scleroderma, and mixed connective tissue disorders.

The ANA test detects autoantibodies that target structures within the nucleus of your cells. If the ANA result is positive, the test automatically “reflexes” to more specific tests (like ENA panel, dsDNA, or pattern identification) to help pinpoint the exact autoimmune condition.

What It’s Used For:

• Early detection of autoimmune diseases

• Differentiating between types of autoimmune or connective tissue disorders

• Identifying patterns of disease activity

Why Reflex Testing Matters:
It avoids unnecessary testing when ANA is negative, but ensures a more detailed workup when it’s positive — helping clinicians provide more accurate diagnoses and targeted care.
