RA or Lupus

[Momm05]

I have had RA for 3 years with Negative ANA. last weeks blood work came back Positive ANA and Anti Dsdna was high (mine was 10 with reference range of 0-9) Should I worry about lupus?

Hi Momm05,

Have you discussed these results with your doctor? Do you have a follow-up appointment to discuss what happens next? We are not medically trained here so we cannot comment on test results in isolation and whether you may have lupus or not. You can learn more about the diagnosis of lupus and the blood tests involved in our factsheet here - lupusuk.org.uk/wp-content/u...
