See details: The diagnosis of lupus depends on having a clinical history compatible with the diagnosis. The DNA result is not impressive and the original ANA could result from many causes.

Not SLE: If the tests are meg they were probably false positives before. True positives don't come and go

A member asked:
ANA result came back as 1:640 homogenous pattern. Anti-dsDNA Antibodies came back negative. I have a lot of lupus symptoms. If the Anti-dsDNA Antibodies came back negative, does this mean it's likely not Lupus? Also had TPO antibodies present at 70?
