Any symptoms: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, lab tests alone do not make a diagnosis of disease. Did you have any symptoms? Did the symptoms subside? Autoantibodies can decrease in strength.
