Hello,

Hi to all !!!

I have a question and I see that Hellos has some confusion with hers as well. My ANA test came back 516,normal range is 99. This test is not in titers and someone on the boards informed me with some info. She said it was a new test available since March and that it was a more accurate test.

I was hoping others who have had this kind of test would reply with their dx. I would like to know how I compare. This has made me curious because there is no other post for me to share this info. with.

Next Thursday I have a bone scan, then on Friday I see the rummy. I hope to get some useful answers from Dr.

Reguards to Everyone,

AnnieMarie

Hi AnnieMarie

Please see

Whatever the sort of test used, if the results are out of normal range as stated by the lab on the test results paper, that counts toward diagnosis.

Your doctor has to interpret the exact significance taking into account all other symptoms and test results.

Cheers
