ANA: The ANA is not always positive with autoimmune disease but your level is significant so see a rheumatologist to bring all the evidence together. Sometimes it is high but not a connective tissue disease.

ANA is just a blood : ANA is just a blood test. It all depends on your evaluation. Your rheumatologist will evaluate the bloodwork and the clinical findings and see if there is a specific diagnosis and treatment.
