Understanding Your Results

The test result should always be interpreted by a qualified physician in the context of clinical signs, symptoms, and other laboratory findings.
Positive: Presence of anti-ribosomal P antibodies. Seen in 5-10% of SLE patients, strongly associated with neuropsychiatric lupus.
Negative: No antibodies detected. However, a negative result does not rule out SLE.
⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult your doctor if you experience persistent joint pain, unexplained fever, fatigue, skin rash, or neurological symptoms. A positive result requires further evaluation by a rheumatologist.
