A member asked:
Did lab work an my ana screen came back positive now the dr wants to do more lab work an i've been having joint pain rash on hands

Correlate with exam: If the ANA is positive at high titer, your physician is right to be worried. You are being screened primarily for lupus and its close relatives. This is a common and appropriate approach. Good luck.
