Still confused!

Sorry for banging on about this, but I'm still confused about what tests have been done! Can any one shed any more light?

So, I posted recently that the doctor had said I'd had a positive 'lupus test' last summer, followed by a positive lupus anti coagulant test in November. He re ran the 'lupus test' in February, it wasn't back when I saw him but he said he was referring me to see a rheumatologist. I had a letter yesterday saying I've been added to the waiting list so all good news.

My February test is now back, so I asked for a print out of this one and my one for last summer, thinking it would clarify what test this actually was. I was expecting an ANA test or the result to be listed as a titre but it isn't. The test just says 'lupus test', with a result range of 0.0-1.2. I was 1.5 last summer so just high, and was 1.2 in February so right on the border.

Just wondering if these ranges look familiar to anyone? I don't know if this is ANA, Anti Dsdna, or something else all together. Doesn't make much of a difference as I'm seeing the rhuematologist anyway, but I'm curious to say the least!

Thanks lovely people
