ANA Screen

Insights Insights

The ANA Screen, IFA test came back normal, which is a good sign. It's recommended that you continue to monitor your health and get regular check-ups to ensure everything stays within the healthy range.
ANA Screen, IFA
good
NEGATIVE

Note: ANA IFA is a first line screen for detecting the presence of up to approximately 150 autoantibodies in various autoimmune diseases. A negative ANA IFA result suggests an ANA-associated autoimmune disease is not present at this time, but is not definitive. If there is high clinical suspicion for Sjogren's syndrome, testing for anti-SS-A/Ro antibody should be considered. Anti-Jo-1 antibody should be considered for clinically suspected inflammatory myopathies.

Comprehensive Metabolic Panel

Insights Insights

Most of your values are within the normal range. This is a positive outcome, indicating that your overall metabolism and organ function are functioning well. However, there are a couple of findings that are worth discussing. Your Urea Nitrogen (BUN) and Creatinine levels are high. Although they are only slightly elevated, it's important to monitor them closely. High BUN and Creatinine levels may suggest reduced kidney function or dehydration. I recommend discussing these results with your healthcare provider to determine the underlying cause and develop an appropriate management plan. It's worth noting that your EGFR, which is a measure of kidney function, is within the normal range. This is reassuring and suggests that your kidneys are still able to filter waste products effectively. Overall, it's important to remember that blood test results need to be interpreted in the context of your overall health and medical history. Your healthcare provider will be able to provide a more comprehensive analysis and guide you further based on these results.

What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing unexplained fatigue, joint pain, muscle aches, persistent inflammation, or symptoms that seem to move around your body. It helps identify autoimmune conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and thyroid autoimmunity that may be causing your discomfort. Many people use this test when they suspect their immune system is attacking healthy tissues but want concrete answers about what's happening.

How should I prepare for this test?

Fasting: 12 hours

You should fast for 12 hours before your blood draw, which means no food or beverages except water during that time. This fasting requirement helps ensure accurate results for the metabolic panel included in this test. You can take your regular medications with water unless instructed otherwise by your doctor.

What's included in this test?

Ana Screen, Ifa Dna (Ds) Antibody Complement Component C3C Rheumatoid Factor Sed Rate By Modified Westergren

This comprehensive panel evaluates multiple aspects of autoimmune activity and overall health. It checks for lupus markers (ANA and anti-dsDNA antibodies), rheumatoid arthritis indicators (Rheumatoid Factor), thyroid autoimmunity (TPO and Thyroglobulin antibodies), inflammation levels (Sed Rate and C3 Complement), and includes a complete blood count and metabolic panel to assess how autoimmune activity may be affecting your organs, kidneys, liver, and overall body function.

What happens after I get my results?
You'll receive detailed doctor notes in simple language explaining what your autoimmune markers, inflammation levels, and organ function tests mean for your health. These notes include personalized recommendations like anti-inflammatory diet suggestions, lifestyle modifications, or whether you should consult a rheumatologist or endocrinologist. You'll also get the standard lab report and can track your autoimmune markers over time using our trends feature to see how treatments or lifestyle changes are working.
When will I get my results?
You can expect your results in approximately 4 business days after your sample is collected. If any of your tests require confirmation testing due to abnormal findings, the turnaround time may be extended by a few additional days to ensure accuracy.
Who should consider getting this test?
This test is important for anyone experiencing unexplained symptoms like chronic fatigue, joint pain, muscle weakness, skin rashes, or recurring fevers. It's especially useful if you have a family history of autoimmune diseases, are experiencing multiple vague symptoms that doctors haven't been able to explain, or have been told you might have an autoimmune condition but need confirmation.
What symptoms indicate I may need this test?
Common symptoms that may point to autoimmune issues include persistent fatigue that doesn't improve with rest, joint pain or swelling (especially in multiple joints), unexplained weight changes, recurring low-grade fevers, skin rashes or sensitivity to sun, muscle weakness or pain, dry eyes or mouth, hair loss, or numbness and tingling in hands and feet. If you're experiencing several of these symptoms together, autoimmune testing can help identify the cause.
How can I naturally support my immune system with autoimmune concerns?
Focus on an anti-inflammatory diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids (fatty fish, walnuts, flaxseeds), colorful fruits and vegetables, and whole grains while limiting processed foods, sugar, and excessive gluten or dairy if you notice sensitivity. Prioritize quality sleep, manage stress through meditation or gentle yoga, and engage in moderate exercise like walking or swimming. Vitamin D supplementation may be helpful as deficiency is common in autoimmune conditions, but check your levels first.
What is rheumatoid factor and why does it matter?
Rheumatoid factor is an antibody that your immune system may produce when it mistakenly attacks your own tissues, particularly the joints. Elevated rheumatoid factor is commonly associated with rheumatoid arthritis, a condition that causes painful joint inflammation and can lead to joint damage over time if untreated. However, it can also be elevated in other autoimmune conditions or even in some healthy individuals, which is why it's interpreted alongside your symptoms and other test results.
What does a positive ANA test mean?
A positive ANA (antinuclear antibody) test means your immune system is producing antibodies against components of your own cell nuclei, which can indicate autoimmune activity. While a positive ANA is found in lupus and other autoimmune diseases, it can also occur in healthy people or due to certain medications. Your doctor will interpret the ANA pattern and titer along with your symptoms and other test results to determine if an autoimmune condition is present.
How often should I retest for autoimmune markers?
If you've been diagnosed with an autoimmune condition, your doctor will typically recommend retesting every 3-6 months to monitor disease activity and treatment effectiveness. If your initial results are normal but symptoms persist, retesting in 6-12 months may be helpful since autoimmune markers can develop over time. For those managing stable autoimmune conditions, annual testing is often sufficient unless symptoms worsen.

What this means

Your ANA test came back negative, meaning no antinuclear antibodies were detected in your blood. This is the expected and healthy result, suggesting that autoimmune conditions like lupus or scleroderma are less likely, though it doesn't completely rule them out if symptoms persist.

Recommended actions

Continue monitoring your symptoms and keep a symptom journal to track patterns

Maintain an anti-inflammatory diet rich in omega-3s, fruits, and vegetables

Manage stress through regular sleep, meditation, or gentle exercise

Consider retesting in 6-12 months if symptoms continue or worsen
