A member asked:

Just diagnosed with lupus due to double stranded dna. my ch50 was 350 though. usually this is low in lupus. what could this mean?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See rheumatologist: Serologic lab results in patients suspected as having lupus can be tricky to interpret. If you have not done so already, see a rheumatologist for a full evaluation. He/she can review your entire picture including the history and physical and can discuss the significance of the various lab tests.
