Hello @lcmcphee -- Welcome to Connect. I can certainly understand why you would feel frustrated. Here is a link on Mayo Clinic's website that describes the Test ID: RNP -- RNP Antibodies, IgG, Serum:

There is also a page on Mayo's website that discusses Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) that may be helpful to read through the diagnosis & treatment along with the lifestyle and home remedies and more here:

I'm also tagging @rosemarya to see if she might have some suggestions. She has posted in an old discussion about PBC but it hasn't had any new posts since 2012:

@lcmcphee did the rheumatologist describe the symptoms that would make him think you have MTCD? I would ask him to tell you his reasons as this might prompt you for some more why questions. There's nothing wrong with getting a second opinion if you feel you are not getting answers.

Thank you for the links.
The fatigue, joint pain and RNP number led him to considering MTCD. But I don’t have large clumps of hairless or a rash
