ANA result

by woode, Sep 14, 2008 04:21AM

I was diagnosed with SLE over 10 years ago, I am now 24 years old. I have had constant active disease but no organs have been involved. I have previously been treated with Azathioprine, Hydroxychlorquine and Prednisilone, currently on no meds! I am now 22 weeks pregnant and have just had my test results, my ANA is 1: 5020, is this high and if so....how high in comparrison to "normal". Thanks

I found this online at http://www.diagnose-me.com/questionnaire/Q3141.html

Under 1:40= Normal ANA levels
1:40 to 1:100= Mildly elevated ANA levels
1:101 to 1:500= Elevated ANA levels
Over 1:500= Highly elevated ANA levels

I don't know how accurate it is, though....

Thanks for the above, looks like mine is off the scale! I have spoken to the Doctor since posting and he has told me that it is very very high, I have been put on steroids.
