Positive anti: Centromere antibody is highly sensitive and specific for scleroderma/crest syndrome.It could also be positive in other autoimmune conditions like sjogrens and primary biliary cirrhosis.I don't think u need more testing.Take care and god bless u! http://www.Ncbi.Nlm.Nih.Gov/m/pubmed/6384675/http://en.M.Wikipedia.Org/wiki/anti-nuclear_antibody http://www.Herbalremediesadvice.Org/autoimmune-diseases.
