If i'm ana + aren't i ana positive regardless of the ratio? then add hlab27+ rf - esr 25 inflam low back pain iritis and fatigue. must be auto immune?

Likely yes,,: Your positive antibodies and a history of low back pain, iritis, and fatigue suggest an auto-immune disorder, most likely on the order of ankylosing spondylitis, which can give this presentation. The ANA may suggest something else also but may be due to the autoimmune nature of the spondylitis, as may the ESR which isn't particularly high but is elevated and can indicate temporal arteritis.

Possibly: Hlab27+, low back pain and iritis can be associated with ankylosing spondylitis, reactive arthritis (reiter's syndrome) and even psoriatic arthritis. Recommend seeing rheumatologist for full evaluation and treatment options.
