Seems to be an indicator of mixed connective tissue disease.  the full name of the test is anti-RNP antibody test.  There are several websites that have info regarding this test.  I found some info by Googling RNP test results  Did your GP refer you to a rheumatologist?  Be aware that depending on where you live it can take 2-3 months to get in to see a rheumy. Good luck to you.
