Question:
My ANA numbers came back at 1:2560. Is this typical for others with Lupus? Higher than most? Lower than most? I don’t know anyone else to ask. Thanks, George

Have you been diagnosed with lupus? mine has been 1280 for 8 months, had every other auto-immune test and they all came back negative, 3 docs cant come up with any answers, I was real sick with stomach inflamation and weight loss 8 months ago, but, have been fine since. I wonder if I could have genetically inhereted the ana from my mother who has severe rhuuemetoid arthritis. people tell me that 1280 is high, so I guess 2560 is high too. Do you have any symptoms, i have none, other than some hair loss, that doc says was from the weight loss and anxiety I experienced,, when I was ill. he called it tellegen effluvium. but I hear lupus also causes hair loss.

Yes, I have Lupus and some hair loss. I’ve had the symptoms for about 4 years but was diagnosed in January 1998. George

Twice as high! (Assuming the labs are working to the same standards) >Do you >have any symptoms, i have none, other than some hair loss, that doc says >was from the weight loss and anxiety I experienced,, when I was ill. he >called it tellegen effluvium.
That’s medical Latin for hair loss… > but I hear lupus also causes hair loss.
Yes. Also I am told that you get left with short stubbly hairs. — Andy For Austria & its philately, Lupus, & much else visit http://www.kitzbuhel.demon.co.uk

This value is at the high end but it is important to remember that the value of the number does not necessarily correlate with disease activity. You can have a high number and not much disease activity or a low number and be quite ill. Any positive value has to be interpreted in light of other symptoms.
