A member asked:

My ana-ifa is positive, ana 1:160,pattern homogeneous and speckled mixed pattern. complement 40,c3 162,, what does this mean?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Any symptoms?: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Having said that, these results may not be meaningful if you do not have any symptoms. Why were these tests done?
