Not necessarily: The ANA is non-specific and can be positive in other diseases and also in normal people. It has to be evaluated in the context of the physical symptoms. If you have concerns, see a rheumatologist.

ANA result came back as 1:640 homogenous pattern. Anti-dsDNA Antibodies came back negative. I have a lot of lupus symptoms. If the Anti-dsDNA Antibodies came back negative, does this mean it's likely not Lupus? Also had TPO antibodies present at 70?
