I do also have Autoimmune hepatitis
Narelle, dsDNA tends to be elevated with autoimmune liver disease, as well as with lupus. You may want to discuss this with your rheumatologist and consider seeing a hepatologist (liver specialist), usually found at university medical centers.
Oh really, this is interesting such a confusing illness ..my dsdna is now almost normal and my ana negative but my liver panel is high and ENA ,P anca positive ...just finished a 10mg taper down of pred . Which I thought might have put all the lupus markers down ..Don't know what to think anymore don't think I can go through the whole diagnosis thing again ..
My ANA is more often negative than positive (even when in the middle of an obvious, massive flare).
Yes, Narelle, they can fluctuate, as AI says, and can turn negative at times.
