Order Lupus PanelThe Lupus Panel is a group of laboratory tests used to evaluate immune system activity that may be associated with systemic lupus erythematosus. Rather than relying on a single measurement, the panel combines several markers to provide a broader picture of immune function and inflammation.
About Lupus Panel in Bluffton
A Lupus Panel typically includes an antinuclear antibody (ANA) test alongside other immunologic and inflammatory markers, giving clinicians a composite view of immune activity.
The antinuclear antibody (ANA) test is often the primary component. It detects antibodies that bind to components of the cell nucleus, a finding common in lupus but also present in other autoimmune conditions and in some healthy individuals.
Additional markers may include anti-double-stranded DNA (anti-dsDNA) and anti-Smith (anti-Sm) antibodies, which are more specific to lupus. Complement proteins such as C3 and C4 may also be measured, since their levels can decrease when immune complexes are actively consuming them.
Results are reported as individual values for each component, with reference ranges that vary by laboratory. Because no single result confirms or excludes lupus, the panel is interpreted alongside clinical symptoms, medical history, and sometimes additional testing.
