A member asked:

Please can someone explain these ana results - ana positive (centromere 0.2) an ena revealed positive ssa and ssa60 (4.5) i am grateful for any advice?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sjogrens Syndrome: Anti centromere antibody is associated with limited scleroderma. A positive ANA and ss-a, ss-b antibodies are associated with sjogrens syndrome. These tests are not diagnostic by themselves and have to be evaluated along with your symptoms and physical examination to get a definite diagnosis.
