Insufficient info: There are defined criteria for the diagnosis of sle and it would be best done by your doctor after evaluation of history, physical findings and lab tests. For more info on diagnostic criteria, please consult this site. http://www.rheumatology.org/practice/clinical/patients/diseases_and_conditions/lupus.asp.

Need Expert Eval: These tests are suggestive, but a diagnosis of lupus requires an in-person evaluation, preferably by an expert in lupus. The disease can look different in different people, and there is no single test or magic checklist of symptoms that will catch 100% of the cases.
