Hashimoto's thyroiditis is an autoimmne disease that affects the thyroid gland. A positive ANA means that a person makes anti nuclear antibodies. The person makes antibodies against the debris from the natural breakdown of the nucleus of dead cells. 10 million Americans have a positive ANA, many have no disease at all. The older you are, the more likely you will have a positive ANA. In disease, what matters more than just testing positive is the immunfluorescent pattern, with each pattern indicating a different autoimmune disease.
