A member asked:
I had the following test results- what do they mean? rfactor -7, ana choice screen - positive, rnp antibody- 2.0, dna da antibody 5
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Possibly nothing: The ANA screen is positive but one needs a full titer and pattern to know what it means. The other results are flatly negative.

Depends: In absence of clinical symptoms, probably nothing. Clinical evaluation should provide clarity.
