How To Understand ANA Blood Test Results?

My doctor ordered an ANA Blood test which I had done this morning along with other lab tests. What would I look for on the results to see the ANA results? There is nothing that says ANA. There are 5 pages of results though. Would I look under Neutro Auto, mono auto, basophil auto, something else?? Thanks

Hi, dear. I have gone through your question. I can understant your concern. You should nodt look for neutro, lympho , mono etc. they are parameters of complete blood count. ANA report is for autoimmune disease. You should look for antibodies like anti sm, antidsdna, Anti ssa etc. they also indicate in which disease thay found positive. You should check for that.
Hope I have answered your question.
Thanks for using health care magic. WIsh you a very good health.
