About ENA Profile

An ENA (Extractable Nuclear Antigen) Profile is a specialized blood test performed by a pathologist to detect specific autoantibodies in the bloodstream. These antibodies target proteins within the cell nucleus and are key diagnostic markers for various autoimmune connective tissue diseases. The test helps differentiate between conditions like Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), Sjögren's Syndrome, Scleroderma, and Mixed Connective Tissue Disease (MCTD). By identifying the precise pattern of autoantibodies present, the ENA Profile provides critical information for accurate diagnosis, guiding targeted treatment plans and monitoring disease activity. It is a cornerstone of laboratory immunology for managing complex autoimmune disorders.

PATIENT REVIEW

Sarah Ali, a 28-year-old graphic designer,...

Sarah Ali, a 28-year-old graphic designer, had always been active and healthy. Over the past six months, she began experiencing debilitating fatigue, painful swelling in her fingers and wrists, and a persistent butterfly-shaped rash across her cheeks. Her primary care physician, concerned about an autoimmune disorder, referred her to a rheumatologist. The rheumatologist, suspecting lupus, ordered an ENA Profile to check for specific autoantibodies. Sarah was anxious during the blood draw, fearing a life-altering diagnosis. The wait for results was agonizing. When the results came back positive for anti-dsDNA and anti-Smith antibodies, confirming Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, she felt a mix of devastation and strange relief to finally have an answer. Starting on hydroxychloroquine and a low-dose steroid, her symptoms gradually improved. While coming to terms with a chronic illness was difficult, having a definitive diagnosis empowered her to manage her health. The emotional journey shifted from fear of the unknown to a determined focus on managing her new reality.
