Hello, Thank you for the comprehensive explanation! Could I ask, is a borderline result for ANA, e.g. 1:160 a reason to test the whole panel, when the diagnosis is not definitive for arthritis. I have also constant low grade fevers and massive hair loss

at what titer usually is lupus "definitive"? Meaning, at what dilution level will i say "this patient for sure has lupus, these are not healthy autoantibody levels"?

@MimimiMimimi-pj4vk Жыл бұрын

Ty for that video! Question.. What if, the ANA screening was positive.. 1:400 - humogen. But the ELISA Screening was negative? ( the following test they do after a positive ANA) Because None of the tested specific antibodys could be tracked. But still 1:400 Ana positive. Is that a common case?

Could you please answer my question? Can ANA test (IFA, 1/80, IgG) show a response of the body to a metal implant (titanium screws on the jaw)? Is an autoimmune/autoinflammatory response can be induced by metal adjuvants and may they cause a positive ANA test result? Or, could we say a negative ANA test means there is no response of the body to the metal (titanium) implants?
