Hi
ANA is a screening test for autoimmune diseases/ connective tissue diseases.
But it can be positive even in healthy individuals.
So based on this test we cannot confirm autoimmune disease.
We need to assess further to understand if you have any features suggestive of autoimmune disease.
Kindly consider to register for a video consultation; or you may meet a rheumatologist whoever is nearby to your residence.
