Blood Tests

Hello, my blood results came back today it was positive Ana 1:40 homogenous. 8 months ago it was 1:80 homogenous. Which one is worse

[Annie99]

Those were mine too. I believe the 1:80 is slightly worse but they both are low. After a brief bout of tingling in my arms and legs, and losing about 15 lbs in a week, everything just went away in about 3 months. Too bad the the weight came back though. That was 6 years and no symptoms of anything else ever came back. Are you having problems?

[MissusTee]

Your new one is much better, it's more of an equivocal result, so not much to worry about. Mine is 1:2560

Hello, what was your c3? Have you been diagnosed

[MissusTee]

Yes have had scleroderma for years. Have PBC, sjogrens and hypothyroidism all with their antibodies. I also have anti smith antibody and low c3, although they didn't tell me the actual number. These are more commonly seen in lupus, although I don't have symptoms- yet!
