Your doctor should be the one to go over the results. But your testing positive for Sjorgrens Syndrome. Perhaps you should go research that particular autoimmune disease. The more knowledge the better, I say.

Thank you Desiree for responding.My next appointment to see the Dr. is Tuesday and I am going to talk to her then.But I thought if someone can explain some of these test then I will have some questions to ask her.I'm really concern with Chromatin AB,lGg and ANA common antibody Screen with Refle).So any info would be appreciative.

Thanks again,
Mary

/www.labcorp.com/wps/portal/provider/testmenu/ usually has good explanations of lab tests. Sorry I don't have more time today to go over your results.

Was your doctor able to explain everything to you?

I hope so,

She is having me retake the blood test because they came back AbnPositive.I do know I have Osteos from Xrays,Sle,Raynaud's and Sjorgren's.I'm not really sure what AbnPositive means.Do you?Well I'm picking up blood tet from last Monday so maybe something will tell what else is going on.

Thanks,
Mary
