ANA 1:160 - is it an auto immune disease?

Posted by helen1000 @helen1000, Sep 8 9:52pm

I had all the tests for autoimmune disease and this ANA tilter is 1:160. Other than that, all tests are negative. I know 15% healthy people may have this ANA test positive. My doctor wants me to follow up ENA.

I want to know whether anyone has any experience for any auto immune disease with only this ANA test positive?

Thanks a lot,
Helen

@penn ANA is antinuclear antibody. If positive, a "reflex panel" is sometimes done to get a more specific idea of what autoimmune disorder might be going on.
