Mel, if you search ANA, you'll find medical sites that explain the ANA does go up and return to normal... it does change even in people with autoimmune disease.

If Alan has normal kidneys, no butterfly rash on the face, no arthritis, no dry eye or dry mouth, no thyroid disease, or progressing PN up the legs and into the arms, etc, then I guess the doctor will not attend to the result.
The ANA also may not be that high, either.
