A member asked:

What does it mean to have positive ana and nothing else?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends.: The ANA is a very nonspecific test. It can be elevated in a wide variety of illnesses and in health. If you have no symptoms an ANA will not give you a disease. If it is very high titer ANA it is worth following you for development of symptoms that might lead to diagnosis or further testing.
