A member asked:
What does a small increase in plasmocytes (0.07 - reference value <0.01 10e9/l) and a very high positive ana (homogeneous pattern >1:640) tell?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nothing alone: This is not a "very high ANA" and many healthy people have titers this high. Counting plasmacytes is an unusual lab test and standards aren't well-understood. If you have clinical features suggestive of lupus, autoimmune hepatitis or one of the other illnesses in which there's usually ANA, this helps establish the diagnosis. Otherwise, keep living a healthy lifestyle & don't trouble yourself.
