I've taken two blood tests, both wielding the same result: positive ana 1:640. I have no clue if this count is too high or too low because I don't know what the normal number of anti-nuclear antibodies is.

When I went to my doctor and had a urinalysis done, I was found to have a lot of protein in my urine, which was passed off as being normal, until I saw a rheumatologist, who said that combined with a positive blood test could mean I have some kind of connective tissue disorder.

I have read that certain drugs/medications can alter the results of a blood test; when I had the tests done, I was on an antibiotic for a sinus problem, and I only wonder if it may have thrown my body's balance off enough to change my test results.

Does anyone think the antibiotics may have changed my results?

Or could I truly have something wrong with me?
