Does everyone with a positive ANA test have lupus?

No. Approximately 10 million Americans have a positive ANA. There are about 1.5 million Americans with lupus. 95-98% of people with lupus have a positive ANA, the others do not. Most people with lupus have a positive ANA, but some do not. Many people have a positive ANA and have another autoimmune disease or no disease at all. The immunofluorescent pattern of the ANA is more significant than the titer number. Lupus usually presents with a speckled rather than homogeneous pattern. There are no definitive biomarkers for lupus.

What is the significance of elevated rheumatoid factor and positive ANA?

10 million Americans have a positive ANA or antinuclear antibody test 1.5 million have a form of lupus. Of all those lupus patients, about 5% will have a negative ANA. The ANA titer is not directly linked to the level of disease activity in lupus. The ANA is just one of a variety of tests used in the difficult process of diagnosing this disease. In addition to a positive, the pattern seen under immunofluorescence is significant. A positive ANA coupled with a speckled pattern is more indicative of lupus than a homogeneous pattern. Lupus is diagnosed based on medical history, symptoms, a wide variety of laboratory tests of which the ANA is just one, and after ruling out other disease that lupus often imitates.


What does a High ANA of 1 to 320 with a nucleolar pattern mean for my health?

An positive ANA (antinuclear antibody) means that you make antibodies that attack the circulating debris of the nucleii of your own cells that have died. A titer of 320 means that your blood had to be diluted320 times before they got a sample that had no antinuclear antibody. Typically the numbers are 40, 80, 160, 320, 640, and so on. Lupus presents a speckled pattern, not a nucleolar pattern. 10 million Americans have a positive ANA. Only 1.5 million have lupus. Many people have a positive ANA and no active disease of any kind. Unless you are having some kind of symptoms, don't be overly concerned.

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.
