What does it mean Ana positive and speckled pattern?

ANA positive refers to the presence of antinuclear antibodies in the blood, which can indicate autoimmune diseases, such as lupus or rheumatoid arthritis. A speckled pattern is one of the various patterns observed in ANA testing under a microscope, characterized by small, scattered spots. This pattern is often associated with several autoimmune conditions but is not specific to any one disease. Further testing and clinical correlation are usually necessary to determine the underlying cause of the ANA positivity.

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.

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.


How do you have ana?

By ana, I am assuming you are referring it anorexia. In which case, you can't BE ana. It is a life style choice. But it means to starve yourself to achieve thinness. And to be thin is to be beautiful. I would recommend checking my blog, dyintobethin.blogspot.com


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.
