A member asked:
I had ana labs done that show a 1:80 speckled ana, anti sm-rnp of 3.1, rnp of 1.1. other labs are normal. i have no family history of autoimmune disease and currently no symptoms of mctd. does this indicate i have mctd or it can develop?

Lab tests: There are some lab tests that are certain: you have a disease or you don't. Neither ANA nor SM/RNP are are a sure thing. If you have fevers, rashes, weight loss, chest pain, joint swelling, then you might consider these illnesses, but the lab testing alone is not diagnostic or predictive. More importantly, why were these tests done? Do you have discomfort, or malaise? Work on those.

PCP performed general lab work. The results showed high ANA (1:1280) RNP (8) CRP (18) and sed rate (90), low Vit D and B12. I have no symptoms other than mild Raynauds. Is this indicative of Autoimmune disease now or in future?
