What Does High ANA Levels In Blood Mean?

I have had chronic hives for over a month along with fatigue and headaches, have a history of autoimmune issues. My primary dr did blood work and my ANA TEST WAS VERY HIGH. I live in Maui Hawaii and there are no specialists here so do I go to the mainland? What type of doctor should I be looking for?

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You have some autoimmune disease. That is the reason for high ANA. You should go for complate ANA profile for typing of your disease. Steroid is the treatment of choice in most of the cases. You should consult physician and take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/Drsanghvihardik, I will be happy to answer you.
