A member asked:
If my blood tested positive for lupus what does that mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nothing: Lupus is diagnosed based on a combination of lab tests and symptoms. A lab test alone does not diagnose this disease and could be positive in many diseases as well as individuals who have no health problems.
