1 Why the test is used: Between 75% and 90% of people with lupus have a positive anti-dsDNA test. 2  Also, the test is very specific for lupus. 3  Therefore, a positive test can be useful in confirming a diagnosis. 4  For many people, the titer, or level, of the antibodies rises as the disease becomes more active.
The zone below ground where the pore spaces are filled with ground water is called the saturated zone. Above the saturated zone, where the pore spaces are not filled with ground water, is the unsaturated zone. The water table marks the boundary between the saturated and unsaturated zone. The water table intersects Earth's surface at rivers and at lakes.
The top of the subsurface ground-water body, the water table, is a surface, generally below the land surface, that fluctuates seasonally and from year to year in response to changes in recharge from precipitation and surface-water bodies.
