If you have RA with a speckled ANA titer 160 does this mean you will eventually develop Lupus?
10 million Americans have a positive ANA. About 1.5 million Americans have lupus. Of the 1.5 million who have lupus 95-98% have a negative ANA. People are more likely to have a positive ANA as they age. Many people with a positive ANA never show any signs of autoimmune disease at all. A speckled titer can be indicative of lupus. No one can predict or even give odds about your chance of defeloping lupus.
ANA titer reading for 1.320?
The ANA titer is the number of times the blood sample has to be diluted before a sample remains that has no antinuclear antibodies. The first dilution is 1:40, then 1:80, then 1:160, then 1:320. The ANA number does not correlate to the level of disease activity. Many people have a positive ANA and no disease at all. In lupus, the immunofluorscent pattern is of more significance than the titer. A speckeld pattern points to the likelihood of lupus.
