Dr. Silviu Pasniciuc answered

Specializes in Internal Medicine

Not yet: The referral is in order to rule in/out autoimmune disorder as the tests involved are complex and they have to be interpreted in the context of your symptoms and physical exam. Once a diagnosis is formulated, it will have to be more than just autoimmune disorder, treatment and prognosis will be discussed.
