Got it, ok so as per that article it says:
Even when detected at high titer, a positive ANA result, by itself (in the absence of symptoms or physical findings), does not indicate that a patient either has, or will develop, an autoimmune disease. Some ANA appear to be unrelated to the development of autoimmune disorders. Future studies may help identify these "benign" autoantibodies and may permit health care providers to provide reassurance to their patients.
Means even at high titer as in my case I don't have any symptoms or physical findings and all organ functions are normal and everything is perfect just except ANA, I assume it could have come high maybe coz of 6 months back skin infection or coz of maybe covid pandemic, coz even covid has caused ANA positive in many patients, or it could also be from my past Alopecia Areata.
Have u personally seen here in this forum cases of people getting ANA positive even at high titer and not having any issues?
