Anti-dsDNA is interpreted with ANA, symptoms, urine and complement levels.
Anti - Dsdna is a laboratory test. Checks antibodies against double-stranded DNA.
Your clinician can advise whether this test is appropriate for you. The result should be read with the laboratory range, symptoms, medical history and other relevant results. The listed sample type is Blood (Serum).
A routine blood draw is low risk. You may feel a brief sting when the needle goes in, and some people notice temporary bruising, soreness or light-headedness afterwards. Fainting and infection are uncommon. The sample is collected at your home by a trained phlebotomist using sterile equipment, and the draw takes only a few minutes. If you feel unwell during or after collection, tell the phlebotomist or speak to your doctor.
Reference ranges vary by laboratory and method. Use the range printed on your final report. The information below is educational only.
