A member asked:
My antinuclear antibodies is positive primary dilution -1:40 primary intensity on if -1+ ana pattern speckled end point titre 1:40 what does it means?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably nothing: These low titer speckled positive ANA's are only one piece of information that a physician uses in putting together the big picture. In serious disease such as lupus or autoimmune hepatitis, the titer is usually much higher.
