The ANA blood test is one of many screening tests for autoimmune disorders. Find out how this test helps doctors to identify invisible illnesses that cause chronic pain and other symptoms and learn what your test results mean.
An ANA is positive in people who have autoimmune conditions... but also cancer, lung diseases, gastrointestinal diseases, hormonal diseases, blood diseases, skin diseases, and in elderly people or people with a family history of rheumatic disease. ANAs are actually found in about 5% of the normal population. In addition, up to 25% of CFS patients have a positive ANA titer and 29.3% of fibromyalgia patients. The ANA test is just one piece of the puzzle. Your physician should order other tests and get your clinical history to find out your diagnosis.
