What is an ANAchoice screen?

An ANAchoice screen is a diagnostic test used to detect the presence of antinuclear antibodies (ANAs) in a patient's blood. These antibodies can indicate autoimmune diseases, such as lupus, rheumatoid Arthritis, or Sjögren's syndrome. The test typically involves a combination of screening and specific tests to identify the types of ANAs present, helping clinicians assess the likelihood of autoimmune disorders and guide further testing or treatment.
