What Does ANA Positive And Pattern Of Cytoplasmic -actin Indicate?

Hello, I'm 24 yrs old and I've had an ANA test about 3 times the first two times it came back as Positive with a titre of 160, the second time it was Equivocal with a Titre of 80. I just had recently done the ANA again and it came back positive for ANA with a titre of 160 and speckled pattern however the difference this time it has a pattern of "Cytoplasmic--actin". The doctor is requesting AMA test to be done. Could I have the ANA/AMA without any indication of symptoms or problems?
