Brief Answer:
Could indicate a possible diagnosis of SLE ma'am

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome.

The anti-ds DNA test was established to diagnose an individual with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). A level above than or equal to 10 is considered a positive result, and could indicate the possible diagnosis of SLE in that individual.

I hope this helps clear your query. Please feel free to write to me for any further clarifications, I am always here to help.

Best wishes.
