Can anyone help with my blood test results please !!?

If this is negative then no further tests are performed. dsDNA antibodies are particularly associated with SLE – Systemic lupus erythematosus. ANA literally means ‘substance against the cell nucleus’. The nucleus is the ‘headquarters’ of the living cell, therefore the ANA can damage or destroy cells and tissues. If the ANA destroys the nucleus of the cell, the cell dies. If enough cells die, then the organ tissue dies. Some medications, infections, and other diseases can cause the test to be positive. A positive ANA is just one piece of the diagnosis puzzle. Neucleolar can give some indication of the particular condition to look for.
