What do you suggest if positive ana test, what does this mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many reasons: Although the + ANA is a screening test for lupus erythematosus. But most people with a + ANA do not have lupus. We see it in a lot of conditions including, thyroid disease,allergic conditions, liver disease, other connective tissue etc. Your physicians can have you see a rheumatologist to clarify why you have a + ANA and whether you have lupus or another connective tissue disea
