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.
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.

Is it possible for lupus patient to always have mumps?
There is no hard and fast rule when it comes to lupus and other infections and the disease affects people differently so no two cases are completely the same. It is possible for a lupus patient to always have mumps because their immune system may not be able to fight it.
How do you calculate the titer of a solution?
To calculate the titer of a solution, you can use the formula: Titer (Volume of titrant) x (Molarity of titrant) This formula involves multiplying the volume of the titrant (the solution being added to the sample) by the molarity of the titrant (the concentration of the solution). The titer is a measure of the concentration of the substance being analyzed in the sample.
