Lab Test Result??

by ampky, May 24, 2008 10:17AM
I had a blood ANA screen test done that came back negative, but it was noted that cytoplasmic antibodies were found.  I feel as if I have SLE (lupus).  How can this test be negative if these antibodies are found? Shouldn't the result (titered) be a number and not just positive/negative?
