Hello. I am new here. I have the following lab results, but am not scheduled to see a rheumatologist until July. Has anyone had the same or similar results with a rheumatologist appt? What was the diagnosis? The wait it making me anxious.

Ana positive

Ana Titer 11.160

Ana Pattern 1 Speckled

My Anion Gap was a 2. I am having a redraw on this on Thursday. I have had three other labs drawn on these through the years. The other three previous reading were 7,7 & 10.

My Vitamin D level was 25. I began taking 5,000 iu last week.

    The ana test is used to diagnose possible underlying auto immune conditions. i am not medically trained and can't give you definitive answers but the speckled pattern you mention is interesting. Why were you attending the rheumatologist ...guessing you must have symptoms going on which got you referred there?

    Did you know you can type in any test result and do a Google Search that will explain the test and the result to you? Might Help.
