Rheumatologist: This test alone is insufficient to diagnose lupus. It has to be supplemented with appropriate symptoms and physical findings. A rheumatologist is best qualified to evaluate, advise, and treat you, if needed.

ANA result came back as 1:640 homogenous pattern. Anti-dsDNA Antibodies came back negative. I have a lot of lupus symptoms. If the Anti-dsDNA Antibodies came back negative, does this mean it's likely not Lupus? Also had TPO antibodies present at 70?

Negative ANA, negative Anti-DSDNA, negative Sjgren antibodies, normal ESR, normal C-RP, normal CBC. Does this rule out lupus or Sjgren syndrome?

Weak positive Histone Antibody, negative ANA, elevated sed rate, elevated C-reactive protein. Elevated White blood cell. Doctor says its nothing. I believe signs point to drug induced lupus. What could this be? What causes positive Histone antibody?
