If the doctor ran a test for Lupus and it came back abnormal, should you be worried?? Yes and no. I'm assuming you had a positive ANA Titer!?!?! Please keep in mind there is not a lupus "test." Tests often have false positives. Just because you had an elevated ANA (even if it was not a false positive) does not mean you have Lupus. It is one of many criteria necessary for a diagnosis of Lupus. Just keep following up with your doctor and be vigilant. Its not the nicest disease in the world but its not the worse. My daughter has Lupus. Yes, But at least you know what's wrong with you. It's time for a Specialist. Now you can be treated! I don't think there is a specific test for lupus. My daughter has it, and it was putting all the symptoms together that led to the diagnosis. there is more than one test for lupus. You can have a high ANA level and not have lupus. Or many other tests that can result in being something else. Lupus can not be diagnosed with just one test. It is compiled by many blood test results. |
