What this test is

The Autoimmune Disorder Panel is a blood test that checks for antibodies often associated with autoimmune diseases. It helps identify the presence of certain proteins that the immune system produces when it mistakenly attacks the body's own tissues. This panel includes multiple markers that provide a broader view of immune system activity.

What it measures

  • Antinuclear Antibody (ANA) — indicates potential autoimmune activity
  • Rheumatoid Factor (RF) — reflects inflammation often seen in rheumatoid arthritis
  • Anti-dsDNA — associated with systemic lupus erythematosus
  • Anti-Smith (Sm) — specific for lupus
  • Anti-CCP — linked to rheumatoid arthritis
  • Anti-Ro/SSA — connected with Sjögren's syndrome and lupus
  • Anti-La/SSB — related to Sjögren's syndrome

What the test involves

The test involves a standard blood draw, where a healthcare professional collects a blood sample from a vein in your arm. The sample is then analyzed in a laboratory for specific antibodies.

Why it is often ordered

Clinicians typically order this panel to investigate symptoms that may suggest an autoimmune disorder. It helps in understanding whether the immune system is producing antibodies against the body's own tissues.

Preparation

Preparation instructions may vary, so it's important to follow the specific guidelines provided by the lab conducting the test. Always check with the lab for any pre-test requirements.

How results are reported

Results are reported as levels of specific antibodies, and reference ranges can differ between laboratories. It's important to discuss your results with a healthcare provider for interpretation.

Before you go

  • Check if fasting is required
