Autoimmune & Immune Response Test

An ANA (antinuclear antibody) test measures antibodies that may indicate your immune system is reacting against your own body. It is commonly used in clinical settings to help investigate autoimmune conditions.

Autoimmune tests analyse specific antibodies in your blood that may be linked to immune system activity affecting joints, muscles, skin, glands, and internal organs.

Yes. ANA testing is commonly used within the NHS as part of the investigation process when autoimmune conditions such as lupus are suspected.

Common symptoms include fatigue, joint pain, brain fog, skin issues, and ongoing inflammation. These symptoms can be difficult to diagnose and often overlap with other conditions.

Many standard tests analyse a limited number of markers. This test checks 18 markers, providing a broader view of immune system activity.

No. This test does not diagnose conditions but helps identify patterns of immune activity that may support further investigation.

You may consider testing if you have persistent symptoms such as fatigue, inflammation, or unexplained health issues that have not been fully explained.

Yes. Some autoimmune markers are not included in routine blood tests, so this test may provide additional insight.

Your sample is analysed in a certified laboratory using validated methods. The test provides reliable insights into immune system activity.

Yes. Many autoimmune conditions present with vague or overlapping symptoms, which can make diagnosis complex and require multiple tests.

Testing multiple markers helps build a broader picture of immune system activity rather than relying on a single indicator.

This is a home-to-lab test. You collect your sample at home and send it to our certified laboratory for analysis.

Results are typically available within 3 days after your sample reaches the lab.

Fatigue can have many causes. This test may help identify whether immune system activity could be a contributing factor.

Yes. It can be used as part of a broader approach to understanding your health over time.

No. This test is available directly to you without the need for a referral.

You will receive guidance with your report, including suggested next steps based on your results.

This test is intended for adults looking to better understand their immune system activity.

We remove unnecessary costs like clinic visits and pass those savings on while still delivering comprehensive lab analysis.

An ANA test (Antinuclear Antibody test) is a type of autoimmune blood test that looks for specific antibodies produced by the immune system. These antibodies may appear when the immune system mistakenly reacts against the body’s own cells, which can happen in some autoimmune conditions. The term “autoimmune test” is broader and may refer to a range of blood tests used to investigate immune system activity, inflammation, or specific autoimmune-related antibodies. A standard ANA screening test typically identifies whether antinuclear antibodies are present, whereas an advanced ANA profile provides more detailed information by analysing multiple specific antibody markers. The Check My Body Health Autoimmune & Immune Response Test goes beyond a basic ANA screen by analysing 18 clinically recognised ANA-associated biomarkers, providing deeper insight into different autoimmune antibody patterns. Our advanced ANA profile includes markers associated with investigations into autoimmune conditions such as: • Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) – including dsDNA, Sm, Nucleosome and Histone antibodies • Sjögren’s Syndrome – including Ro/SSA and La/SSB antibodies • Systemic Sclerosis – including Scl-70 and CENP-B antibodies • Mixed Connective Tissue Disease – including U1-snRNP antibodies • Other autoimmune connective tissue investigations Choosing an advanced ANA profile instead of a basic ANA screen may provide a more comprehensive view of specific autoimmune markers, helping you and your healthcare professional better understand your results. The Check My Body Health Autoimmune & Immune Response Test combines: • 18 autoimmune-related biomarkers • Simple home blood collection • UKAS-accredited laboratory analysis • Clear personalised results • Access to professional support from our team of GPs and nutrition specialists The difference between an ANA test and an autoimmune test is that ANA testing is one type of autoimmune investigation. A basic ANA test usually checks whether antinuclear antibodies are present, while an advanced ANA profile can analyse multiple specific autoimmune biomarkers. The Check My Body Health Autoimmune & Immune Response Test measures 18 ANA-associated markers through a UKAS-accredited laboratory.

Joint pain, stiffness, and inflammation can have many possible causes, including injury, lifestyle factors, infection, inflammation, and in some cases autoimmune activity which is where the immune system mistakenly reacts against the body’s own tissues. If you are experiencing persistent or unexplained joint discomfort, an autoimmune blood test may help provide additional insight by checking for specific antibodies commonly investigated in autoimmune conditions. The Check My Body Health Autoimmune & Immune Response Test analyses 18 clinically recognised ANA-associated biomarkers that may be linked to autoimmune responses affecting the joints, muscles, skin, and connective tissues. Our advanced ANA profile includes markers associated with investigations into autoimmune conditions that can involve joint symptoms, including: dsDNA, Sm, Nucleosome & Histone antibodies – commonly investigated in relation to Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), which may include symptoms such as joint pain, fatigue, and inflammation. Ro/SSA & La/SSB antibodies – associated with investigations into Sjögren’s Syndrome and other connective tissue conditions. U1-snRNP antibodies – commonly assessed when investigating Mixed Connective Tissue Disease, which can involve joint and muscle symptoms. Scl-70, CENP-B & PM-Scl antibodies – used in investigations relating to systemic sclerosis and autoimmune connective tissue disorders. Our test provides: ✓ 18 autoimmune-related markers tested A more detailed antibody profile compared with a basic ANA screening test. ✓ Simple home blood collection Collect your sample conveniently at home using an easy finger-prick kit. ✓ UKAS-accredited laboratory analysis Your sample is processed using advanced laboratory technology and strict quality standards. ✓ Expert support after your results Our professional team of GPs and nutrition specialists can help explain your results and support your next steps. While an autoimmune test cannot diagnose the cause of joint pain by itself, it can provide valuable information about autoimmune-related antibodies that may help guide further conversations about your health. If you have ongoing joint pain, stiffness, or inflammation, an autoimmune blood test may help identify whether specific autoimmune-related antibodies are present. The Check My Body Health Autoimmune & Immune Response Test analyses 18 ANA-associated biomarkers linked with autoimmune investigations using UKAS-accredited laboratory testing and professional healthcare support.

A Normal result in your ANA test means that the specific autoimmune-related antibodies included within your test were not detected above the expected reference level at the time your sample was analysed. The Check My Body Health Autoimmune & Immune Response Test analyses 18 clinically recognised ANA-associated biomarkers commonly investigated when assessing possible autoimmune activity. If your results show as Normal, this means the laboratory did not identify elevated levels of the tested autoantibodies, including markers such as: dsDNA Nucleosome Histone Sm U1-snRNP Ro/SSA La/SSB Scl-70 CENP-B Jo-1 PM-Scl A normal result may indicate there is no evidence of increased activity across these specific autoimmune markers, which can provide helpful reassurance. However, autoimmune health can be complex. A normal ANA profile does not completely rule out every autoimmune condition, as: Some autoimmune conditions may involve antibodies not included within this panel Antibody levels can vary between individuals Symptoms, medical history, and other investigations may also be important If you continue to experience symptoms such as: Persistent fatigue Joint pain or stiffness Muscle aches Skin changes Ongoing unexplained symptoms It is important to discuss your health with an appropriate healthcare professional. With the Check My Body Health Autoimmune & Immune Response Test, you also have access to our professional support team, including GPs and nutrition specialists, who can help explain your results and discuss possible next steps.

An Elevated or Positive ANA test result means that one or more of the autoimmune-related antibodies analysed in your test were detected above the expected reference level. The Check My Body Health Advanced Autoimmune Blood Test measures 18 clinically recognised ANA-associated biomarkers. These antibodies are commonly investigated by healthcare professionals because they may be associated with increased immune system activity and certain autoimmune conditions. A positive result means that your immune system has produced detectable levels of specific autoantibodies. Autoantibodies are proteins made by the immune system that can mistakenly recognise parts of your own cells as a target. Depending on which marker is elevated, your results may provide insight into different autoimmune antibody patterns. Examples include: dsDNA, Sm, Nucleosome & Histone antibodies Commonly assessed in investigations relating to Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) Ro/SSA & La/SSB antibodies Commonly assessed in investigations relating to Sjögren’s Syndrome and connective tissue disorders Scl-70 & CENP-B antibodies Commonly assessed in investigations relating to Systemic Sclerosis U1-snRNP antibodies Commonly assessed in investigations relating to Mixed Connective Tissue Disease An elevated ANA result does not automatically mean you have an autoimmune disease. Autoimmune test results should always be considered alongside: Your symptoms Medical history Other blood test results Assessment from a healthcare professional Some people may have detectable autoimmune antibodies without developing a diagnosed autoimmune condition. If your result shows an elevated marker, our professional support team, including GPs and nutrition specialists, can help explain what your result means and guide you on appropriate next steps.
