Dr. Alexis, MD| Rheumatologist | Autoimmune on Instagram: "A positive ANA does not equal autoimmune disease. ANA stands for anti-nuclear antibody; a blood test that looks for antibodies against your own cells. Up to 1 in 5 healthy people have a positive ANA. Without the right symptoms and clinical context? It means nothing. We treat patients. Not numbers. #ANA #AutoimmuneDisease #Rheumatology #LupusAwareness #medicaleducation"
