Dr. ordered ana in blood test to check for autoimmune..came back negative. what does this mean?

Less likely: This means that your problem is less likely to be from an autoimmune disease but does not totally rule it out. The diagnosis of a disease is based on the clinical features and the lab test is used mainly to confirm it.
