Employeeâs Report of Injury Form Instructions: Employees shall use this form to report all work related injuries, illnesses, or ânear missâ events (which could have caused an injury or illness) â no matter how minor.
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.
However, other tests may still be needed based on your symptoms. Some people with autoimmune diseases may test negative for ANA but positive for other antibodies. A positive ANA test means that you have high levels of ANA in your blood. A positive ANA test is usually reported as both a ratio (called a titer) and a pattern, such as smooth or speckled. Certain diseases are more likely to have certain patterns. The higher the titer the more likely the result is a âtrue positiveâ result, meaning you have significant antinuclear antibodies and an autoimmune disease. However, a positive result doesnât always mean that you have an autoimmune disease.
