Antinuclear Antibodies: A demographic profile from a Tertiary Healthcare Centre of Delhi

SVU - International Journal of Medical Sciences, 2023
Background: Anti-nuclear autoantibodies (ANA), have explicitly been linked to immune complex-mediated autoimmune diseases. Detection and quantitation of autoantibodies are therefore crucial in the diagnosis and treatment.

Clinical diagnoses associated with a positive antinuclear antibody test in patients with and without autoimmune disease

BMC Rheumatology, 2023
Background Antinuclear antibodies (ANA) are antibodies present in several autoimmune disorders. However, a large proportion of the general population (20%) also have a positive test; very few of these individuals will develop an autoimmune disease, and ...
