Hi,

Thank you for your query on Healthcare Magic.

Lupus is an collagen vascular disease which involves almost all systems of the body.

It is diagnosed on the basis of presence of 4 clinical criteria out of 11.

There are many tests in the process of screening and confirming the diagnosis like XXXXXXX dsDNA, XXXXXXX antibodies, Complemet C3, antiphospholipid antibodies.

Some of the tests will indicate the severity of lupus like dsDNA, C3 levels.

So I advise you to mention the name of the test and its units of measurement, so that I will try to explain it in a more precised way.

And if possible please upload the investigation reports with the help og this health portal as it will give a clear idea of your problems.

Awaiting for the information in your follow up query.

Regards.
