@drjuhikmdphd: #creatorsearchinsights whenever I see a patient and considering a #lupus diagnosis, it is really helpful to have the folllwing labs: 1) ANA with titer 2) dsDNA or double stranded DNA 3) C3 and C4 which are complement proteins or complements 4) Urinalysis - not necessary but helpful as I want to look for protein in the urine Based on these labs along with history and physical, Rheumatologists can order other labs and autoantibodies including smith, RNP and anti-phospholipid labs. As always please see your own physician for a thorough workup! Hope that’s helpful! #autoimmunedisease #lupuswarrior #doctorsoftiktok

Why would someone have a very high dsDNA by Elisa but negative by crithidia repeatedly but also a negative ANA? If this isn’t lupus… what could it be?

I just saw my 3rd rheumatologist January 7th and we spoke for 45 minutes. She seemed to be engaged and listening however she said my previous ANA was negative so I didn’t have lupus. However I have every symptom plus some and all my labs and X-rays negative for RA. So once again I get no where. Woke up today and couldn’t even get out of bed due to the pain. What now?

A question we get asked a lot is how do C3 and C4 act in lupus, what did they mean, and how does that guide Dr. decisions. Could you pleas share your thought. Thanks!!

I have all the signs/symptoms of lupus but my ANA comes back negative. I know they can fluctuate but is the ANA really the biggest deciding factor in diagnosing it?
