Positive ana and dsdna. retest showed neg ana and dsdna, but low c4. what does the low c4 mean? were first results false positive?

Complex: sample handling, timing and transport are important, the process is delicate and constitutes multiple steps at different temperatures, and the results are interpreted in context with the clinical picture, just ask your doctor / rheumatologist for interpretation, if just suspicion, observation and follow up are the way to go for many clinicians, wish you wellness
