Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have ANA positive for immunofluorescence test. It is screening test. It can be seen lupus, but sometimes it is positive in many healthy individuals also. Please send me your ANA profile line immunoassay reports. So that I can help you to give exact diagnosis. Then you should plan accordingly. Hope I have answered your question. If you have any doubts then feel free to ask me. I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
