A member asked:
What does a high positive ana ifa test and negative choice antibody test mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See details: I have never heard of a choice antibody test. I positive ANA must be evaluated in the context of the clinical picture. It is a screening test for lupus but can be positive in numerous other diseases and often in people without any disease.
