Can an ANA positive test (antinuclear antibodies) and a high antithrombin count be a possibility for a blook disorder?

Talk to your doctor. An ANA is a test for rheumatologic disorders. Don't know about a high antithrombin count, seems like it's more of a problem when that's low.

The rest of the blood test have come in and she also has a low white blood cell count of 4.1 (limits 4.5-13) so it's not that low, and her MCHC (hemoglobin?) came back high... This is for my 13 year old daughter. They are sending us to St. Jude. Maybe we will have answers soon.
