ANA

[AMDP]

What is ANA (in blood)

[Anteater]

I have often wondered that myself !!!

[Yorky]

I think, but may be wrong, that it stands for anti-nuclear antibody. One of the blood tests for Scleroderma.

Thanks Yorky, I have a feeling you are spot on.

[Yorky in reply to AMDP]

I think its a positive or negative test, not measuring levels

[AMDP in reply to Yorky]

Thanks

You are probably right.

usually with scleroderma the ANA will come back speckled.
