Hello,
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.
