A member asked:

I got a weak positive ana and negative rheumatoid factor. what does this mean?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

They don`t mean much: These tests are within normal limits and don`t mean much. Tests can be negative in the presence of disease and positive in normal people. Diagnoses depend on a competent physician who does a proper history and physical exam and uses tests and x-rays and others to arrive at a diagnosis. Don`t over depend on tests.
