Stress-Related Laboratory Tests
This non-fasting blood test by immuno-fluorescent assay (IFA) detects antibodies to nuclear antigens. The indirect immunofluorescent test has three elements to consider in the result: 1) Evidence of light radiation, 2) Titer, and 3) Pattern of radioactive light. Your test result is more useful than the direct method.
Antinuclear Antibodies (ANA) is a group of special antibodies produced by your immune system when it fails to effectively differentiate between "self" and "non-self," often occurs during episodes of prolonged stress.
These auto-antibodies attack your own cells, causing signs and symptoms of tissue inflammation, joint and muscle pain, fatigue, and organ dysfunction. The presence of ANA is associated with several auto-immune disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis, scleroderma, and Sjögren’s syndrome, but it is most commonly seen in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
Instructions and a list of CLIA-approved blood-draw sites near you will be provided. You'll have direct online access to your results usually within 3-5 business days. Storage of your results are HIPAA compliant.

This non-fasting blood test must be drawn at either 8 am or 8 pm, depending on your symptoms and daily routine, in order to accurately evaluate the relative level of your cortisol production.
Cortisol has a range of roles in the body. It regulates metabolism by breaking down protein, glucose, and lipids; it helps maintain blood pressure, and it helps regulate the immune system. Stressors, such as: heat, cold, infection, trauma, emotional distress, physical over-exertion, obesity, and debilitating conditions can influence your cortisol levels. The hormone is secreted in a daily pattern rising in the early morning, peaking around 8 am, and declining in the evening. This cyclical pattern (diurnal variation or circadian rhythm) will usually adjust to sustained changes in your waking and sleeping schedule.
