A member asked:
Can there be false positive rnp antibody tests even with a high titre of an ana?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
FALSE POSITIVE RNP: It is possible we need to know what your symptoms and signs are, and why the tests have been ordered.The lab test apways have to be interpreted along with complete clinacal findings if you have signs and symptoms of lupus, high ana, and doctor ordered rnp to confirm the diagnosis and it comes out positive.That in all probabilities is positive and not false positive.

Yes: Please talk to the doctor who ordered the test. Asking the same question multiple times is not going to be helpful. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/.
