Labs for arthritis: Are not black versus white or positive versus negative but are a guide to help make a diagnosis sure certain things like ra positive or more obvious but there are many things that are collections of partial values or markers are used to indicate extent of disease having a slightly positive ETA does not mean you have a systemic problem it just means that that protein is found in your system
