Individual tests

An ANA test is a blood test that looks for antinuclear antibodies, which attack healthy cells. It's normal to have a few antinuclear antibodies in your blood. But too many may indicate an autoimmune disorder, such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), rheumatoid arthritis, scleroderma, Addison disease, or autoimmune hepatitis.
Angiostrongylus cantonensis is a parasite that can be transmitted to humans who consume raw or undercooked snails or slugs. Some people are symptomless or have only mild symptoms that don’t last very long. Sometimes the infection causes a rare type of meningitis. This test helps to diagnose Angiostrongylus infection by detecting IgG antibodies to the parasites.
Cardiolipin is a blood fat that is important for clotting. When antibodies attack cardiolipin, blood clots can occur. Platelets, blood cells that help with clotting, get used up, leading to problems with bleeding. These antibodies are often high in people with abnormal blood clotting, autoimmune diseases like systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), or repeated miscarriages.
