Blood tests results, ana negative but ena and ss-a positive, please explain what it means ? ena screening test results is high with a reading of 17 (should be between 0 to 0.7) ss-a results high with a reading of >240 and interpreted as positive

Need more info: 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. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, a positive result for SS-A/Ro antibodies is consistent with connective tissue disease, including Sjogren syndrome, lupus erythematosus (LE), or rheumatoid arthritis.
