I don't know: An ANA of 1:320, speckled pattern, is a non-diagnostic test. It does not rule-in or rule-out any disease. The (in)significance of the test is what symptoms you have, your physical examination and what other laboratory tests are (ab)normal. In short, you should see your physician for a comprehensive examination.

ANA: You really need to meet with a rheumatolgist to discuss this further since they might need further testing or biopsy to determine the answer.
