Does ana positive pregnancy have any effect on the fetus?

Every girl looks forward to the moment when she becomes a mother, which means that pregnancy is very important to a girl. It adds an extra responsibility of being a mother to a girl's shoulders and also brings surprises to a family. However, conceiving a new life is difficult, and there will be many unexpected experiences in the process. If a pregnant mother finds that her ana is positive during the prenatal check-up, what should she do? Will it affect the baby?

Antinuclear antibodies (ANA), also known as anti-nucleic acid antigen antibodies, are a general term for a group of autoantibodies that use various components of their own eukaryotic cells, such as deoxyribonucleoprotein DNA, extractable nuclear antigens (ENA) and RNA, as target antigens. They can react with the cell nuclei of all animals. They are mainly present in serum, but can also be present in pleural effusion, synovial fluid and urine.

ANA positivity will have a certain impact on pregnancy, so pay attention to monitoring during pregnancy. After antinuclear antibodies are discovered, it is important to distinguish which type of antinuclear antibodies they are, because different antinuclear antibodies have different meanings. Some antibodies are specific to a certain disease, and some antibodies have nothing to do with the activity of the disease. Certain infectious diseases, liver disease, tuberculosis, etc. may also have antinuclear antibodies. It is recommended to further screen for any infectious, contagious or chronic diseases, and only consider conception when you are in good health before pregnancy.

That is, it is believed that the positive rate and titer of ANA increase during the active phase of lupus, and decrease during the remission phase. But in general, the positive ANA antibody has little correlation with the activity of the disease and generally has no effect on the fetus. This item suggests that there may be an autoimmune disease. But it is impossible to diagnose what the specific disease is. If there are no other obvious abnormalities, it is okay. It is recommended to check antiphospholipid antibodies. If this indicator is positive, it is likely to cause recurrent habitual miscarriage.

Therefore, when a pregnant mother finds out that she is ana positive, she must consult a doctor first. This situation does not necessarily have an impact on the fetus, and a correct judgment can only be made after further examination. In addition, pregnant mothers must not take medicine randomly during pregnancy and must follow the doctor's advice, otherwise the fetus may become deformed or even stillborn in the uterus.
