PROVIDER INITIATED TEST - The ANA (Antinuclear Antibody) Screen with Reflex to Components is a blood test used to evaluate autoimmune activity in the body. It first screens for antinuclear antibodies, which may be present in autoimmune or connective tissue disorders. If the initial ANA screen is positive, the test automatically “reflexes” to more specific autoantibody components to help identify the type of autoimmune process involved.
This test is commonly used when symptoms such as chronic fatigue, joint or muscle pain, rashes, or unexplained inflammation are present.
Reflex testing helps provide clearer clinical insight and can support further evaluation, diagnosis, and management of autoimmune conditions.
