A member asked:
Can mixed connective tissue disease be diagnosed with a positive ana and positive rnp anitibodies?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NO.: You must have a compatible clinical picture first and the absence of another diffuse connective tissue disorder which could explain the symptoms and lab findings. A high titer ANA and anti-u1-rnp is a pretty good marker of mctd though.
