HI all, I have DLE, had a skin biopsy last year via an emergency doctor (I was working away). In the last appt, she mentioned that I'd, ''...had a blood test & no SLE'' ! but I wasn't aware of that test, could it of been done via biopsy? as I've NOT had any other blood test!! Does anyone know if an SLE test can be done via a biopsy?

Hello Smiler

A blood test is the usual method, not unusual to take bloods with a biop.
