ANA is just a screening test for a group of diseases known as connective tissue disorders (CTD ) ..it can be falsely positive in even 15-20 % of normal individuals ..the pattern of staining and clinical symptoms both help in interpreting the report
Next Steps
Do an ANA blot assay to confirm the presence of any specific CTD
Health Tips
consult a physician / rheumatologist with the report of an ANA Blot assay
