A member asked:
Labs done on accident, high ana and anticentromere b antibody. no symptoms diagnosed with crest does this mean i have it now? or will have it later?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No symptoms: A diagnosis is made based on symptoms and objective findings and not on lab findings alone. You don't have CREST if you do have any symptoms or findings compatible with the disease. Another question: If a lab did a very specialized study on you by accident, could it have also mixed up your blood sample with another person's? I would recommend repeating the test in a few months .
