Inflammatory issues: Looks like your treating physician was thinking of inflammatory issues sort of like rheumatisms and seems results needs to be discussed with him soon for treatment strategy.

Possibly nothing.: An ANA is a very nonspecific test and must be evaluated in the context of the clinical symptoms. See a rheumatologist.
