Abstract
Antinuclear antibodies (ANA), first discovered many decades ago in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), still remain a diagnostic criterion for this disease. However, subsequent studies have shown that the range of diseases in which ANA are detected is extremely wide and includes not only systemic rheumatic diseases, but also other autoimmune diseases (AD), including autoimmune cytopenias, autoimmune liver diseases, gastrointestinal diseases, autoimmune pathology of the thyroid gland and other endocrine glands, autoimmune skin diseases etc. The low specificity of ANA determines their relatively low diagnostic value, which increases when taking into account the luminescence pattern, indicating the presence of certain autoABs. The presence of ANA in patients with AD has a certain prognostic significance since in a number of diseases it is associated with their clinical features and the nature of the process as well as the expected response to the treatment with various drugs. Due to the fact that various AD are often combined in patients, the detection of ANA may be a reason for expanding the examination aiming to diagnose them in a timely manner. See Part 2 at N.S.
