Therefore, when the ds DNA antibody test is positive and the person tested has other signs and symptoms associated with lupus, it means that the person likely has lupus 
  • Low to moderate levels of antibody may be seen with other autoimmune diseases like Sjogren syndrome 
  • A very low level of anti ds DNA is considered negative but does not exclude a diagnosis of lupus. Only 50-70% patients of lupus will have anti ds DNA
