I was gathering old records and I notice one hopsital test had results like this.

antinnuclear antibody - 8 - high
the range was to 7.5

ANA titre 1:40

Pattern: Speckled.

I already know the ANA is slightly positive, but why is the antinuclear antibody seperate?

No one ever explained that one and I thought that was what ANA meant.

Maybe someone can clear up my confusion?

Ha !! Terri you are right and funny too!!

Right about not looking back....that is.

I am just wondering the explanation of the 8. Strange but the brain can't figure it out.
