Six months ago, because of a hand rash, I made an ANA test which was 1:80 positive (FANA methode), and the anti-rnp was bordering 1:0, but the U1-rnp was negative. The other results of a complete ANA test were also negative.
(CCP, IgG-abs, ds-DNA-ab, chromatine abs, SS-A/Ro(60kD), La/SS-B, Sm (B'B/D), U1-RNP/SM, Scl-70, Jo-1/Histidyl-tRNA-Synthet., Ribosomal P-protein abs, c-ANCA, p-ANCA, Cardiolipin-Ig-(G/M/A), B2-glycoprot.-1-ab, Lupus-anticoagulant, MAK/TPO-abs - all negative).
I made a check up now and the results for ANA remain the same (1:80), the anti-rnp is little over border line 1.1 (border line is 1.0) and U1-rnp is again negative. I do not know what could this mean? I have never taken drugs that induce positive ANA. The doctor tells me the results are overlapping results, but I am very concerned about the following:
- I don't feal any illness, but I am conserned if this could mean a begining of an autoimmune disease?
- I am not sure if it's not dangerous for me to be pregnant. Could the pregnancy mean progress to the eventual ANA test result?
- Could the already existing ANA test result in anyway damage the eventual baby? (I am 40, and it would be my first pregnancy)
- In the last couple of weeks I feel very short and very tolerable pain in my palms and in my hand up to the elbows, but not in the elbows, could it be a sign of any autoimmune disease?
Thanks very much indeed in advance to who ever answers me.

Just like to know if you heard anything back from the doctor. Do your hands feels hot? Do you feel more itchy in your hand in the morning and before bed time? Hard to sleep? Do you have any redness on your face (butterfly) which come and goes?
Thanks,
What's the meaning ANA test & negative result?
