Brief Answer:
? is it lupus

Detailed Answer:
Good evening.

Thank you for writing on health care magic

Well I have gone through your results but the interpretation was a bit difficult considering the normal range being not available. If you could scan the report and attach it on here that would be beneficial.

Also just antibody positivity never implies lupus. If you look at the criteria for diagnosing lupus antibody has only 2 positives. Rest it depends on the symptoms.I will ask a few questions and you can .let me know if you are experiencing any of these symptoms

1. Any history of oral ulcers or hair fall

2. Any history of low grade fever

3/ any history of joint pains

4/ any rashes on the face or other parts of the body which gets worse on sun exposure

5 any stomach pain or swelling of feet

6 did they check your other blood tests too. If you could attach them it had be great

Do let me know these queries. Would be happy to help out

Regards
Dr naval
