They are all normal!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for reaching out to us.

I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your husband. May you find the strength to carry on. My sincere condolences to you and your entire family.

I have reviewed these tests entirely. Nothing abnormal was found. There is no need for further action by you. However, if you have not been vaccinated against hepatitis B as well, you may want to do so. It is a safe and affordable vaccine.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to follow up with me if need be.

He had passed from complications from LUPUS SLE. Which I understand can somewhat effect these tests but the lab that did them made it seem that they were abnormal and not negative at all. So it is very concerning.

I was wondering about the neg/pos results and the Non reactive/reactive results and the
[Presence] in Serum

There is nothing abnormal here.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

None of these results warrant further evaluation or attention. if the doctorswere concerned, it might have been for other reasons and not because these results are abnormal.

I hope this helps. I wish you well.
