From the expert

This venous blood test (which means that blood must be taken from a vein in your arm) can help in the diagnosis of a number of autoimmune conditions including lupus and rheumatoid arthritis. A diagnosis is unlikely to be given from the presence of antibodies alone as antibodies can be raised even when a person has no evidence of disease. However, if you have symptoms, then this test can help confirm autoimmune disease. 

Autoimmune conditions arise when your immune system mistakes your body's own cells as "foreign" and starts attacking them. This test measures auto-antibodies which are attacking the the nucleus of the body's own cells.

The presence of antinuclear antibodies in the blood is an indicator of autoimmunity and this test is used to help investigate autoimmune disease. The detection of antinuclear antibodies is most commonly seen in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). However, ANAs are also seen in other autoimmune conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and Sjögren's syndrome.
