A member asked:
What is a "positive antinuclear antibody with a homogeneous staining pattern & a litre of 1 in 160" ... & should i worry ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rheumatologist: ANA is a screening test for collagen diseases like lupus. A titer of 1 to 160 is elevated but has to be interpreted along with your clinical history. It may not be significant in your case. A rheumatologist is best suited to determine its significance.
