A member asked:
How often does an ana test comeback positive when lupus is not involved? what else could a positive ana indicate? (there are several symptoms of sle)
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Positive ANA: A positive ANA can mean many things. Lupus is just one autoimmune disorder. An ANA can come back positive and be rechecked and be negative. There are other blood markers that we use to tell what an ANA means. Ask your doctor if other tests were done.
