I would like to discuss lab results with a rheumatologist, in particular a positive jo-1 test.

Mgt: Please schedule a virtual appointment through healthtap. You will be able to upload your lab results for review. In general, an isolated elevation of an auto antibody, without symptoms, does not require treatment.
