Positive ANA’s

Positive ANA’s can be a factor of Lupus but the test alone does not actually diagnose Lupus as an ANA can also be positive for other diseases. It is used alot though for Collegen Vascular Diseases. Lupus, MCTD, Scleroderma, Polymyositis and a few others. You may have Lupus but am just not showing the other symptoms.
A high sed rate with an ANA is also another factor that Lupus could be kicking in. Most Lupus patients don’t start out much showing positive labs, but as the disease progresses it will start showing positive labs.
Unless you are doing the rare stuff I am doing. Lupus attacking my body and showing no majorly high labs.
