Overview
ANA Blot 17 antigens is a laboratory test used to detect autoantibodies in the blood of patients suspected of having an autoimmune disease. The test is performed by exposing the patients serum to a panel of 17 antigens and detecting the presence of autoantibodies using a technique called immunoblotting. The test can provide information on the specific autoantibodies present in the patients blood, which can help in the diagnosis and management of autoimmune diseases such as lupus or rheumatoid arthritis.
Who should do this test?
Patients with suspected autoimmune diseases: ANA Blot 17 antigens test is commonly used as a diagnostic tool for autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus, Sjogrens syndrome, and rheumatoid arthritis.
Patients with unexplained symptoms: ANA Blot 17 antigens test may be ordered if a patient is experiencing unexplained symptoms such as joint pain, fatigue, and fever, and other diagnostic tests have not been conclusive.
Patients with a family history of autoimmune diseases: Patients with a family history of autoimmune diseases may undergo ANA Blot 17 antigens test as a preventive measure to detect the early signs of autoimmune diseases.
What to do if the test is abnormal?
The first step would be to consult a healthcare provider who is experienced in interpreting ANA results. ANA Blot 17 is a type of test that looks for antibodies in the blood that are associated with autoimmune diseases such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and Sjogrens syndrome.
If the ANA Blot 17 results are abnormal, it does not necessarily mean that the person has an autoimmune disease. Further testing, including a physical exam, medical history, and additional blood tests, may be necessary to confirm or rule out a diagnosis.
In the meantime, the person should continue to monitor their symptoms and report any changes or new symptoms to their healthcare provider. Depending on the situation, treatment may be necessary to manage symptoms and prevent complications.
