I have a question on ANA results. Normally ANA results are reported
as a titer, starting with 1:40, 1:80, etc. The titers are always a
multiple of 40 since they represent dilution factors. CurrentlyI am
working with a SD patient that has an ANA result that is being
reported in a way that I am not familiar with. She has a result
listed as 823. Her original ANA level was a normally reported result
of 1:640. I am not concerned about the clinical signficance of the
result - we know she has limited SD - just this alternate result value
instead of a titer. I am hoping that someone here has a lab
background or understands this alternate type of ANA result.

In addition to posting the result, can you please email me at: eharris
(-at) synnovation.com. (Trying to avoid spam spiders...)

Thanks,
Ed
