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: May it mean a begining of an autoimmune disease? I am not sure if it's not dangerous for me to be pregnant. Could first pregnancy mean progress to the eventual ANA test result or danger for the baby, I’m 40?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.
