I am sure they will repeat the ANA by immunofluorescence and it will result in a ratio, such as >1:80 on up. For example, mine is >1:1280. I suspect yours will be at least that high. They can go higher but usually, this is high enough. I suggest you read up on antinuclear antibody titers. Your hematocrit and hemoglobin are normal.

You will get a pattern as well, such as speckled, nucleolar, homogenous etc. Or a mixed pattern such as speckled/nucleolar when they do the ANA by immunofluorescence.

This helps with suspicions.

You are a positive ANA right now with negative ENA, which is the situation I am in and many of us are in. There is 'some' antibody but they don't know what it is....it can be diagnosed as UCTD or Undifferentiated Connective Tissue Disease. In addition, you have a lot of 'off' blood work, I suspect they will arrive at diagnosis based on symptoms and blood work. ANA can be positive in a large number of conditions, not just those tested for on the ENA (Extractable nuclear antigen) test.

I wonder did you have a C section, epidural or spinal block?

Just hang in, these things can take a while to play out.
