What do you suggest if i have been told i tested with a positive ana homogenous pattern and have a titer of 1:160. what exactly does?

Impossible to say: The ANA is nonspecific and must be evaluated in the context of the clinical symptoms. It can be positive in numerous diseases and even in normal individuals. You best ask your question to the doctor who ordered the test.

Nothing: This blood test has no value by itself. It is positive in many people with no related disease. It can also be present in lupus and other autoimmune diseases, many infections, cancer, inflammatory vowel disease, and many relatives of people with autoimmune disease.
