Can Any Online Doctor Help In Reading Test Results?
what does the following test results mean: Out of range Reference values ANA (ANF) Positive Negative TPHA Reactive Non Reactive
Thu, 27 Mar 2014
Hello and welcome to HCM,
ANA stands for anti nuclear antibody.
ANA is increased in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and other connective tissue diseases.
A negative TPHA test rules out syphilis infection.
You need to be investigated further for SLE and other connective tissue diseases.
Thanks and take care
