What Does This ANA Test Result Indicate?
I go 0.7 on the antinuclear antibodies blood work. Looking at your website to see what it means. The result is posted in my online patient record. Haven t heard from my primary care physician yet. The result listed H (assume that means high). Don t understand the meaning of the number outside of normal range. Can you put it into perspective?
