A member asked:

What does it mean that my anti ds dna was 291 two months ago .. now i repeated the test it's 90 ? nb: ive been not taking any medications since then

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Fluctuations: Anti ds-DNA real significance is simply whether it's detectable. Levels fluctuate both with your health and perhaps even with variables in the lab. I would draw no conclusions about the activity of your disease from the changing values.
