What does it mean if you have a possible positive lupus test?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Positive ANA: But a positive ANA does not mean you have lupus. A good history and physical as well as confirmatory blood work by your physician or a rheumatologist is the preferred course of action. There is no one "test" to diagnose lupus.
