If that's the case, combined with what you're feeling, it could point toward scleroderma or a future risk for it. Usually, it's the limited kind that moves slowly and stays mostly skin-deep.

Thanks.

The test happened because the capillaroscopy showed atypical scleroderma patterns. It’s all about the suspicion of scleroderma!

Can someone please make sense of these results? (S) ANA (ENA) IIF centromere titer < 1:100
(S) dsDNA negative IU/ml < 30 negative
30-40 borderline
> 40 positive
(S) SS-A 52 negative AU/ml -II-
(S) SS-A 60 negative AU/ml -ll-
(S) SS-B negative AU/ml -ll-
(S) Sm negative AU/ml -ll-
(S) Sm/RNP negative AU/ml -ll-
(S) DNA-topo 1 negative AU/ml -ll-
(S) Jo-1 negative AU/ml -ll-
(S) CENP-B 300 * AU/ml -ll-
(S) RIBO negative
