What does ana screen ifa positive?
ANA means anti-nuclear antibodies. There are antibodies that a person might make against the nuclear material of their own cells that have died, broken down and are circulating in the blood stream. 10 million Americans have a positive ANA. Many have no disease. The older one is, the more likely one is to have a positive ANA. The ANA test is a titer which means the number represents how many times the lab had to dilute the blood to come up with a sample with no autoantibodies. IFA refers to immunofluorescence. People with lupus who have a positive ANA are likely to have a speckled pattern under immunofluorescence.
If you are ANA positive and have high globulin level in the blood does that mean you have Lupus?
Not necessarily. ANA is a sensitive test for SLE (97% of people with SLE will have a +ANA test) but it is not specific, since ANA can be present in a number of other diseases as well as in some people with no disease. Therefore a + ANA test should be followed up by anti-dsDNA and anti-Smith which are markers specific to lupus.
