What does a positive ANA of 23 by IFA mean? I can't find anything online about a positive ANA having a number like that. This was written in my doctor’s notes on my ANA panel. I was diagnosed with lupus with Sjogren's overlap, btw.

      It depends on the lab that did your blood draws. Each lab processes them differently, and by that I mean they will have different ranges. But a positive ANA is indicative of an autoimmune disease. In your case, sjorns.

      Ana 23 means it maps out and evaluates 23 types of igG to find out if you suffer from an autoimmune disease
