Frequently Asked Questions
Is fasting required for ANA/ENA profile?
No, fasting is not required. Sample can be collected at any time of day.
What sample is used for this test?
Serum (1 mL) collected in a plain/red-top or gel separator tube.
How long does it take to get results?
Reports are typically available within 24–48 hours at our NABL-accredited lab.
What does a positive ANA/ENA result mean?
It indicates the presence of autoantibodies against nuclear or extractable nuclear antigens, suggesting an autoimmune condition such as SLE, Sjögren’s, scleroderma, or myositis. Clinical correlation is essential.
Can medications affect the result?
Certain immunosuppressants or biologic therapies may alter antibody levels. Inform your doctor about all current medications before testing.
Does stress influence ANA/ENA levels?
Psychological stress does not directly cause autoantibody production, but autoimmune flares can be triggered by stress, infection, or hormonal changes.
