Physiological; yet need some info to help better

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX

RNP is ribonuclear protein extracted from nuclear antigen and antibody against it is referred anti-RNP .This is increased in connective tissue disorders (autoimmune) like systemic or drug induced lupus,Scleroderma etc and persists for longer duration until is used up..

With just values we can't pin point,what's the problem ! I request you to add brief medical history like any history of rashes,kidney dysfunction,bowel disorders,eye disorder etc.

With the limited information,I could not sort out actual etiology...

Awaiting your reply.
