See Rheumatologist: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Having said that, it would be prudent for you to consult a rheumatologist. Sometimes it takes time for diagnostic criteria to develop. You may wish to consult this site for more info. http://www.lupusresearchinstitute.org/lupus-facts/lupus-diagnosis
