In most cases, a positive ANA test indicates that your immune system has launched a misdirected attack on your own tissue — in other words, an autoimmune reaction.
The level to which a patient's sample can be diluted and still produce recognizable staining is known as the ANA "titer." The ANA titer is a measure of the amount of ANA in the blood; the higher the titer, the more autoantibodies are present in the sample.

The cause of lupus in most cases, however, is unknown.

Pattern on the antinuclear antibody-HEp-2 test is a critical parameter for discriminating antinuclear antibody-positive healthy individuals and patients with autoimmune rheumatic diseases. Arthritis Rheum.
Conditions that usually cause a positive ANA test include:Systemic lupus erythematosus.Sjögren's syndrome -- a disease that causes dry eyes and mouth.Scleroderma -- a connective tissue disease.Rheumatoid arthritis -- this causes joint damage, pain, and swelling.Polymyositis -- a disease that causes muscle weakness.More items...•
In our laboratory, an ANA titer of 1:640 is defined as a “high titer” because of a 0.5% prevalence of positives in normal individuals.
Neoplastic diseases may cause positive ANA. Some authors have described that ANA is found in the sera from lung, breast, head and neck cancer patients as frequently as in RA and SLE 3, 4, 5. Chapman et al. 6 has suggested that in breast cancer they may be used as an aid to early diagnosis.
