Low titers are not considered positive, but high titers are indicative of high levels of antinuclear antibodies. This type of result is reported as positive. The results of this test used to determine an ANA titer are also described as the type of fluorescent patterns that show up on the cells contained in the blood sample. Specific patterns can indicate specific autoimmune diseases. Lupus and mixed connective tissue disease are associated with a diffuse pattern.
