A member asked:
Is it possible to have positive ana 1:80 and anti smith 13 then both negative month later? what happens? lupus or not?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, possible.: Esp they were both only minimally elevated. It can be falsely elevated with few situation one been most common is acute infection and had your blood work done around that same time. You likely don't have lupus but you can repeat again in 6 to 12 months.
