I know I was tested for RA but I'm not sure about Lupus. Would the test just be called lupus titer or what?

I would have to look at my lab results to find out what tests they ran. I know they did the ANA and RA. For Lupus, I know they ran a Anti-dsDNA test. That's the one that came up positive. But the results from all the other tests were negative and the dr thinks that it was a false positive.

Well got a call from the doctors office today and they will make an appointment for me to see a rhuematlogist. So lets see, I already have an appointment to see a neurosurgeon for my cervical spine, I will now see a rhuemy and I found out today that my other eye may be ready to have a cataract off. . I need to make an appointment to go see the gourmet cupcake shop
