My ANA jumped around a lot.  It started out 160, then 320, then 640, then neg, then 2,560.  I had spent time in the sun prior to that last reading.  I was dx with lupus, but lupus is not dx solely by the ANA.  I was having a lot of dibilitating symptoms.

Can I ask why your ANA was checked.  It is an expensive test and is usually not performed unless an autoimmune disorder is possible.

Other things that can cause an elevated ANA>
Family history of auoimmune disorder
Lupus
Scleraderma
cancer
MS

It usually indicates there is an inflamatory response going on in your body, but some people just have an elevated ANA for no apparent reason.  

Hope this answers your question.
God bless, Kara
