The results of an ANA test (antinuclear antibody) would be either positive or negative. If it is positive it should indicate that you have anti centromere or antinuclear antibodies. These are markers for scleroderma but some people can have positive antibodies but don't necessarily develop scleroderma. Much would depend on your other symptoms. Are you under the care of a rheumatologist? That would be important so that you can be monitored regularly.

I hope this is helpful.
