If you had several suggestive signs and symptoms the diagnosis may be possible. One test by itself does not
make the diagnosis of lupus. In fact most people with
positive ANA tests do not have or develop lupus.
Have further discussion and ask questions about your follow up and what findings you have that go along with
the diagnosis. If you are seeing a rheumatologist they
usually use several criteria to make the diagnosis in addition to the positive test result.
