A member asked:
What to do if i have an ana test of 1250 but peripheral and speckled are negative. could this be a false positive?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: The test is positive, forget the pattern. The key question is why was the test ordered in the first place? The ANA must always be evaluated in the context of the clinical picture.
