I actually have my ASCP Board Exam (for med techs) next week... and one of the things I really had to review was ANA patterns! What incredible timing for this video to come out. Thank you so much Medicosis Perfectionalis!

[Leosats]

Thank you for all these videos... really "humanizes" the subject in contrast to what a lot of other teachers do.

I'm a patient I'm here and this humor makes learning my body fun lol

[medicalmadeunderstandable]

This is the best video on ANA I've found. Thank you for making it clear!

A doctor years ago simply defined my blood as POOPY. I only now fully comprehend his brilliance.

Love the dentist comment, I was a dental technician, so spot on.

[Mr.A.J.]

Love your speech pattern, (yes I speak English) it keeps it interesting!

[rashatariq]

thank you, sir, that was very helpful and fun, and by the way, I'm a dentist but I have a speciality in oral and maxillofacial medicine, and here's my lidocaine 😁😁

[manarsmaan]

UpToDate: “The ANA test is positive in virtually all patients with SLE at some time in the course of their disease. If the ANA is positive, one should test for other specific antibodies, such as anti-dsDNA, anti-Smith (anti-Sm), Ro/SSA, La/SSB, and U1 ribonucleoprotein (RNP), which are described further below. In some labs, a positive ANA test by indirect immunofluorescence will automatically result in testing for such additional ANA that are often present in patients with SLE. However, a positive ANA must also be interpreted in the setting of other clinical and laboratory findings.

Almost 15 percent of the population in the United States has been found to have a positive ANA of at least 1:80 by indirect immunofluorescence, but only 10 percent have a true autoimmune disorder.”

Shared to SS group, I wish I could find a good Dr. that know’s more about SS.😌

you're so weird and quirky, I love it. very good collection of facts, thank you. if I may give a suggestion: you could actually emphazise your ways of memorizing a fact/name/situation more and slow down sometimes a little bit so one could take the information in more easily. anyway, great videos!

I'm newly diagnosed with Autoimmune disease..been searching for understanding test results for us mere humans. Ya know, the ones without medical training. I stumbled upon your collection and find it kinda helpful. I think I need to keep searching for something to help me better understand the test results. I'm aware that I could be looking at years without an official diagnosis to which specific disorder I have. But if my past medical experience has taught me anything, it's that I have to be my own advocate. No one is going to advocate for me, or even take the time to answer my questions without making me feel like I'm a bother bc I don't hold a degree in Rheumatology. I'll keep my search going for the answers I deserve. But thanks for your somewhat helpful videos. 🫡

I went to the doctor because I have been having some hair breakage. At first I thought it could be due my chemotherapy from when I had colon cancer. I realized it been a year since my last treatment and most hair starts regrowing after three to six months after treatment is over. My oncologist said for the type chemo I got I wouldn’t lose my hair. My doctor drawn some blood and it came back positive for lupus. I also tested positive for inflammation and homogenous pattern was high.

[Nabiyah]

Just what I needed. Thank you so much for making this palatable and easy to digest. <3 GREAT VIDEO!
