Hello I am a 43 year old woman. I am mostly healthy but I have a highly elevated ANA blood reading (2500) and a burning and tingling sensation on my skin and internally. I have had the all clear for Multiple Sclerosis. I understand ANA indicates an Autoimmune disease but other blood test results are normal . What blood test should i pursue?
Hi, welcome to Chat Doctor. ANA is a non-specific test which tells that there are self antibodies. For further specification, you need to undergo ANA TOTAL PROFILE (immunofluorescence), which will tell what kind of specific antibodies you have and what is the likely disease you have. Please post to us for further queries.
