I was giving her a few days, the spots appear and disappear regularly. In one of the regular revison Cordoba, Department of Rheumatology, exposed him to the rheumatologist. The doctor asked me a blood test a little more specific. Had to be urinating on a boat from light for 24 hours. In the blood than a normal, included the review of ANA and anti DNA.
-. The ANA are antibodies present in people whose immune systems may be causing inflammation against their own body tissues. The antibodies that attack its own tissues are called autoantibodies. When the immune system acts against his own body, develops autoimmunity.
antinuclear antibodies (ANA). Are autoantibodies directed against the nucleus of cells, and are positive in almost all patients with SLE.
ANA reveal the possibility that a person has an autoimmune disease.
is important to remember that a positive result on the ANA test by itself is not a confirmation of the presence of lupus. ANA
analysis is not a test for lupus. There is no specific test for lupus. The ANA test is only a screening test to help guide physicians in various directions. -. anti-DNA antibodies are native autoantibodies directed against the cell's genetic material and are characteristic of lupus (not present in any other illness.) Are determined with some regularity since their blood levels appear to relate to SLE activity (increase when active), so that helps doctors assess the degree of disease activity. -.
anti-Sm antibodies are named for the first patient ("Smith") in their blood were detected. Found almost exclusively in SLE and often help confirm the diagnosis.
