A member asked:
Like to know if my labs could be a false positive? my sed rate was 29, ana was positive and ssa ro was high >8.0.....what autoimmune disease is this

Sjogren's or discoid: You probably have sjogren's syndrome. If you have skin lesios, you might have discoid sle. A titer of that magnitude is significant. Neither of these two diseases significantly effect the esr. Both conditions should be evaluated by a rheumatologist!
