What is ANA-HEp-2?
The ANA-HEp-2 test is a specific type of Antinuclear Antibody (ANA) test that uses HEp-2 cells (human epithelial cells) as the substrate to detect autoantibodies in the blood. This test is often used to diagnose autoimmune diseases such as Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), rheumatoid arthritis, and other connective tissue disorders.
The test detects various autoantibodies that target the nucleus of cells. It is performed with a blood sample, and the results are interpreted based on the pattern and titer of antibodies found.
The test is generally safe with minimal discomfort during the blood draw. Positive results require further clinical evaluation.
What to expect & how to prepare
ANA-HEp-2 is performed at a diagnostic centre or hospital lab. A trained technician collects the required sample (commonly a blood draw, urine sample, swab or an imaging scan, depending on the test) and sends it to the lab for analysis. Most routine tests take only a few minutes to sample, with reports typically ready the same day or within 24–48 hours.
- Fasting: some tests require 8–12 hours of fasting (water is usually allowed). Ask the centre when you book.
- Medication: tell the lab about any medicines or supplements you take, as some can affect results.
- Timing: certain hormone and biochemistry tests are best done in the morning — confirm the recommended time.
- Report: always have a registered doctor interpret your ANA-HEp-2 result rather than self-diagnosing.
