AMA: What values are considered negative / positive in your country or part of the world?

[Cristina_Romania]

In Romania, at one of the main research & testing lab, they say "anything below 20 is negative." Then there's a "grey zone, aka uncertain" (20-25 approx, not sure), then above the uncertainty area is the "total positive count."

hi I have 1:320 titre, I also am M2 positive. It has remained constant over the 4 years since diagnosis.

I'm in England.

My AMA just said 'a titre higher than 2560', the ANA showed as normal. The hospital doc letter then confirmed the diagnosis of PBC.

No idea what this figure translates to in the ratio that some of you have put down on here but I have noticed that it can vary in how the results are relayed.
