Hi Deb,

The ANA can show different patterns and levels of antibodies which can point to specific diseases.

The first ANA testing I had only showed an antibody number, like a simple basic ANA test.  Later I was tested and it was a very specific testing with many results, which was much more specific.

ANA seems to be very confusing doesn't it?

Does that help you at all?
