Pcp did blood tests.gave all results except ana and referred me to rhuematologist.why the need to wait to get the results from specialist?

Interpreting ANA: Your doctor may want some assistance in interpreting a positive ana. Many normal people have a positive ANA and it may not correlate with any disease state at all. I agree with your dr. For sending you to a specialist before interpreting a positive ana.
