Ana Test ?

daisy27 · #1 Mar 21, 2008, 11:56 AM

Hi, i had a bunch of bloodwork done and my ana test came back positive. My doctor said it was lupus but not sure what kind, that there are four different kinds. She also said it could mimic another auto immune disease. I have to go to see a specialist in april. Has any one ever had this test? Does any one on here have lupus?? thanks

I personally have never had the test done because I have never been diagnosed with Lupus, but please visit this website to update yourself on all tests concerning Lupus. Your doctor is right, it is very hard to diagnose as it looks like (from blood work) many other auto immune diseases.

You mean ENA test by the way, and all Lupus blood tests are explained on this site:
