Extractable Nuclear Anti (ENA)

When an ANA test is positive, additional testing, such as the ENA panel Test (Extractable Nuclear Antigen Antibodies), might be utilized to determine if an autoimmune condition is present. Testing can be used to differentiate between autoimmune disorders and track autoimmune diseases' progression.

Sjögren's syndrome, lupus, and mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD) can all be accurately diagnosed with the ENA panel's four tests. The ENA panel's six tests can detect scleroderma, polymyositis, and dermatomyositis.

An ENA panel can also be used in conjunction with clinical evaluation to monitor the activity of a specific autoimmune illness.
