What is Autoimmune Disease Panel and what does it show

This panel, sometimes called an autoimmune panel or ANA panel, checks several antibodies, including ANA, rheumatoid factor, IgA, and markers used to screen for celiac disease. These results can help your doctor see if your immune system is more active than it should be.

Who should get an Autoimmune Disease Panel test

Common reasons: ongoing joint pain or swelling, long-lasting tiredness, skin rashes or mouth ulcers that keep coming back, numbness or tingling, stomach pain or diarrhea after eating gluten, dry eyes or dry mouth, or a family history of autoimmune disease.

How long does an Autoimmune Disease Panel test take and what to expect

Check in with your photo ID and lab order. A trained phlebotomist cleans your arm and draws a small tube of blood. The draw takes a few minutes. Plan for about 10 to 20 minutes total at the lab.

Is an Autoimmune Disease Panel test safe and what are the risks

Yes, this is a quick, routine blood draw and is considered very safe. You might feel a quick pinch, notice a small bruise, or feel a little lightheaded for a moment afterward, but those effects usually fade quickly. Be sure to tell the staff if you take blood thinners, have a bleeding disorder, a rash or infection where blood will be drawn, or if you have fainted during blood draws before. They will take extra care to keep you comfortable.

How to prepare for an Autoimmune Disease Panel test

Drink water before your visit. Eat as you normally do unless your doctor gives other instructions, since fasting is not usually needed for antibody tests. Bring a list of your medicines and supplements, and tell the team about steroids or immune medicines, since they can affect results. If you take high-dose biotin supplements, ask about pausing them 24 to 48 hours before testing. Bring any prior test results if you have them.

Related conditions an Autoimmune Disease Panel test may help evaluate

Examples include lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, celiac disease, Sjogren’s syndrome, autoimmune thyroid problems, and mixed connective tissue disease. Your doctor will review your results along with your history and symptoms before recommending any next steps.

Tests similar to Autoimmune Disease Panel and how they differ

• ANA test with titer only: screens for antinuclear antibodies but does not include celiac or rheumatoid factor markers.
• ENA panel: looks at specific antibodies such as SSA, SSB, RNP, and Sm to pinpoint certain autoimmune conditions.
• CRP or ESR: measures general inflammation in the body, not specific autoantibodies.
