If youre in the early stages of lupus, would it be possible for an avise blood test to show negative results? i had an avise test which said i was -1 on the index which is closer to indeterminate &positive for ana igg with negatives for the rest?

Probably useless : Severity of lupus depends on how you feel and how much end-organ (joints, kidneys, lungs, heart, etc) damage is going on. That will determine how much and what type of Rx you need Avise test may help a little but, again, it mostly depends on how you and your body are doing
