What's the highest positive ANA that you've had

[Babs659]

I always ask for a copy and it's never a problem.  My GP's office will even fax it to me.

Hi Reanne,

A lot of us keep copies for our records.  I do because most of my doctors don't talk to each other, and it keeps duplication down.

Mine is 1:1280 with a high positive anti-SS-A.

oh my gosh, I get all my labs and test results from every single doctor I see, and I keep the most recent in a large file in case I have to go
see another doctor or to the ER. I dont count on my doctors to fax to the others either...I make sure I have all my records myself..really helps.

My lab work is all available to me on line and I imagine I can print it off as needed.  Haven't been outside of my primary care phys but would think as long as the specialists are 'in house' those results would be found in the same place.   
Anyone else deal thru Geisinger?

1:160 homogenous pattern and then a few weeks later 1:160 speckled.  I was dxed with SLE, secondary Sjogren's, Raynaud's and gastroparesis.

This morning, I feel fortunate to be on the right side of the grass, but that's not always the case

Jumping on this thread a little late, but trying to read up and educate without asking repeat questions. My first positive ANA (by EIA) was in 2005 at 3.0, but subsequent values have maintained at 1.7. Reference Low: <1.5 OD Ratio. I've never been told if there was a pattern and they still have no clue what my Autoimmune is...

I've never been told if my has a pattern either.  I have a copy of the lab report and it doesn't say anything about it as far as I can tell.  Maybe it's reported using some sort of code?

  Mine highest ANA was 1280 all in RO. I also have thyroid antibodies.   Lesley

My pattern was speckled.

I always ask for a copy of my labs for my own records but I can't find my last ANA to find the results (I'm a terrible filer).  I'll probably be having follow-up work done on my next rheumy appointment next month, so I'll know the results then.

Now if an ANA ever came up positive for me, it would be purple spotted with orange stripes I tell ya!
