ANA : An ANA titer of 1:80 often times means nothing as it can be encountered in completely healthy individuals. If there are associated signs and symptoms and/or associated inflammatory markers and antibodies, then it may mean something. It can be seen in various disease processes, usually auto-immune connective tissue/rheumatologic.

Maybe nothing: A titer of 1:80 is borderline and anas of that titer are often seen in normals and in numerous other diseases including viruses. The ANA must always be evaluated in the context of the clinical symptoms.
