Really cool from you to give us a quick recap of last videos, like that at the end we learn and remember ! Thanks 👍

Yup! My pleasure 😇

[@jennip.4571]

when i was diagnosed with sle those anti-sm antibodies were highly positive, in addition to ANA 1:20480 and dsdna 1:10240. i was lucky it was THAT obvious in my case... all the other parametres in addition to antibodies were tested positively as well. but is it really an indicator for a severe SLE course? i mean i have cns involvement for a high probability without clinical manifestations, onöly found atrophy in brain yet.

[@janazeaiter1401]

Does this mean that a patient that tests (+)Anti-smith and (-)anti-dsDNA can still be diagnosed with SLE if the symptoms and clinical picture of SLE is present?

[@Anon.G]

Yes, there is a scale with points and you need over 10 points

[@Sarahh_]

I have the smith- antibody. ref range : 0 - .09 AI ; mine are positive at 1.3 -- do these usually stay positive (and never go away on their own without meds?)

[@zilandizayee5579]

So If there’s Anti-SM positive++ it’s diagnostic for SLE?

[@MedicosisPerfectionalis]

It’s very specific. But you still need history, physical exam and other labs. Please talk to your doctor!

[@snowdiamond5740]

[@MedicosisPerfectionalis]
