Hello! A positive antinuclear antibody (ANA) test result strongly suggests an underlying autoimmune disorder. We recommend that the expectant mother undergo further diagnostic evaluation to determine whether she has an autoimmune disease and, if so, whether it is currently active. Based on the specific diagnosis and disease severity, an appropriate fetal-preserving treatment plan can then be formulated. Please consult your physician for personalized recommendations and actively cooperate with the prescribed treatment.
