A member asked:
My lab tests came back with a positive ana and positive rnp antibodies...are these normal ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No.: Positive anas can be "false" positive. On the other hand an rnp antibody is not false. This combination would indicate mixed connective tissue disease. That having been said, I have many patients with a low titer rnp positivity and no signs of disease.
