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.
