Interpretive Data
Please see report for interpretive data.
CCP ANTIBODY IGG
Negative: <7
Equivocal: 7-10
Positive: >10
dsDNA AB
Negative: <10
Equivocal: 10-15
Positive: >15
In the case of equivocal results, it is recommended to retest the patient after 8-12 weeks.
The Anti-Nuclear Antibody test was performed by the indirect immunofluorescence technique (IFA) using the Hep-2 substrate slides and the Anti-Human IgG conjugate, fluorescein labeled.
