Autoimmunity happens when the immune system mistakenly attacks the body's own tissues.

Doctors use Anti-Nuclear Antibodies (ANA) and Extractable Nuclear Antigen (ENA) tests to get a general idea of autoimmune activity. More specific tests, like those for Actin (Smooth Muscle) and Mitochondrial antibodies, can help identify which tissues are affected and suggest specific autoimmune diseases.

Some autoimmune diseases are very complex and hard to diagnose, needing multiple tests to identify them. For example, high levels of double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) antibodies and low levels of C1Q Immune Complex (Complement) are common in Lupus Erythematosus.

But, C1Q levels can also be low in other autoimmune diseases like Rheumatoid Arthritis. Adding tests for markers like Rheumatoid Factor (RF) can help doctors diagnose rheumatoid conditions more accurately and distinguish them from other conditions with similar symptoms, such as other types of arthritis.

Comprehensive autoimmune panels are the best way to broadly and accurately detect autoimmune diseases.


The Holman Omega-3 test measures both the amount of omega-3 in the bloodstream (Omega-3 Index) and the individual levels of omega-6 versus omega-3 in blood tissue (Tissue HUFA).


  • Omega 3 Family
    ALA = alpha Linolenic acid (Plant Omega 3)
    EPA = Eicosapentaenoic Acid (Marine Omega 3)
    DPA = Docosapentaenoic Acid (Marine Omega 3)
    DHA = Docosahexaenoic Acid (Marine Omega 3)
    Omega 3 Score = ALA, EPA, DPA, DHA
  • Omega 6 Family
    LA = Linoleic Acid (Plant based omega 6 ; soybean oil, walnuts
    DGLA = dihomo-gamma-linolenic Acid (Animal omega 6)
    AA = Arachidonic Acid (Animal based Omega 6)
  • Omega 6/Omega 3 Ratio
    AA/EPA Ratio
Total Omega 3 Score, % Omega 3 in HUFA, % Omega 6 in HUFA, Omega 6/Omega 3 Ratio, AA/EPA Ratio, ALA, EPA, DPA, DHA, Total Omega 6 Score, LA, DGLA, AA
