A member asked:
I received blood test results with positive rnp and ana not detected. is it possible to not have sle or mctd, or it's definite due to positive rnp?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ritter: These tests are prone to lab error, and many healthies have one or both positive especially at low titer. These are only one piece of information that your physician will use.

Positive ana positive rnp low positive ccp positive dsdna can you tell me if this means lupus or mctd?
I have had red splotches on my eyelids and under my eyes for 6-8 months. I have had a full Myositis blood panel and CBC, c1, c4 all negative but my RNP is 1.7. With only a positive RNP and not ANA rule out mctd ?
Two years ago I had a postive ana. Recently I had a comprehensive ANA panel done and by rnp antibodies were 4.4. Could this be sle or mctd?
Can you please discuss the relationship among sle, mctd, anas, anti-rnp, myalgia, and myositis? How common is it to find these concurrent in a person?
Is it likely that I have ANA (1:640 nucleolar, 1:320 speckled) just because my mother had lupus/MCTD and ctd's ran in her family? Should I be screened for cancer (MRIs etc.) as I read case studies of ANA+ca? No symptoms of any disease, blood etc. ok.
