A member asked:
Does an ana test detect all autoimmune diseases and can you have a negitive ana and still have an autoimmune disease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: An ANA is helpful in lupus and in some other connective tissue disorders. It is not any diagnostic help in many other autoimmune diseases.
