About test

ANA Screen,IFA, with Reflex to Titer and Pattern/Sjogren's Panel 1 - This panel can be helpful in the diagnosis of Sjogren syndrome by simultaneously testing for antinuclear antibodies (ANAs) with an immunofluorescence assay (IFA), performed on human epithelial type 2 (HEp-2) cells, as well as SSA antibodies, SSB antibodies, and rheumatoid factor (RF). For specimens with positive ANA IFA results, reflex testing for ANA titer and pattern is performed. The laboratory evaluation for individuals with clinical suspicion of autoimmune diseases often begins with an ANA screen. The classic ANA IFA on HEp-2 cells is considered by the American College of Rheumatology
