How should I handle a positive ANA reading?
Please note a positive ANA does not require immediate treatment. Remember, lab levels vary, some autoantibodies are normal and this may be a false positive result. Your doctor will determine what happens next based on additional exploration. By working with your doctor and asking questions you will get the best care for your particular situation.
