A member asked:
Had bloods for lyme, anca, anti dna antibodies, anti mitochondrial all negative. if autoimmune started 7 years ago tho wouldn't blood repair to normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Autoantibodies rarely become negative if they were positive. It may rarely happen if the disease is in complete remission. However, that almost never happens.
