Hello doctor,I am worried about my blood work lab results. My RNP antibodies are at 2.3, speckled pattern 1:80, antinuclear antibodies, IFA is positive. I know I should not be diagnosing myself, but my findings is worrisome. Most of my symptoms match up with what I am seeing. I guess my question is, should I worry all weekend or go ahead and make an appointment with a rheumatologist given the results that I have seen in my labs?
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. Based on the details available, it looks that you have lupus. Possibility of mixed connective tissue disorder (MCTD) is also there. You need furthest tests that include Anti-ds DNA, rheumatoid factor. At this point, you should not get worried unnecessarily. Wait for your doctors call.He would call you and post you for further tests. I hope it helps you. If you have any further query, please ask me.
