My 6 yr old daughter has been having some pain issues. So her ped did a ton of blood work. We just got the results back from her ANA lab work:
ANA - positive
Titer - 1:1280 (reference normal is <1:80)
ANA Pattern - speckled
Sed rate - 9
RF by Nephlometry - <15
and everything in her CBC came back normal ( wbc count was 5.2 and reference was 5.0 - 14.5)
her ped wants us to see a pediatric rheumatologist asap. These numbers seem very high to me...........could my daughter have lupus?? Many autoimmune diseases run in our family.
