ANA: The ANA test is not really a test where a lower or higher reading predicts "danger" to the body. The higher the numbers the more likely that one has a connective tissue disorder such as lupus. The ANA can also be positive in a host of other connective tissue disorders. False positive ANA is a common finding (but usually in high titers). You need to return to your doctor and ask more questions.

Check- ups,,,: Likely the best thing to do, at this point, is follow-up/check-up, especially if there're no other symptoms or signs. This level could be from hashimoto's, an autoimmune disease of the thyroid, but other signs are needed, like a low TSH level. It can also be nonspecific, so it would be wise to continue to see your doctor for follow-up and monitoring at this time. Good luck.

The level of: ANA elevation doesn't correlate with danger or risk. It could be due to the autoimmune disorder of thyroiditis. Check w/ your doctor for more info.
