Sir, My mother aged 47 has been taking medication for Rheumatoid arthritis for 3 years. Recently when she has given samples for ANA profile and after seeing reports doctor says, all these days we thought your problem is Rheumatoid but looks like it is Lupus. Her SGOT reports are also not good. Sir, what could have happened?
