I'm sorry but this is a forum for support - not diagnoses. Whilst I imagine there are medically qualified people who look in from time to time (they do on my other forum) the members here are patients, some with expert knowledge it is true, but not qualified to interpret lab results. If you are unhappy with your current care provider's interpretation of these results it is another rheumatologist you would need to consult in person for a second opinion.

Hi SAS

As PMRpro says, as patients were aren't qualified to say what these results might or might not mean.

Interpretation of blood test results is really someting for your doctor to do for you. The values can be quite different depending on which laboratory undertook the analysis.

Blood tests are an aid for the doctor looking after you, they aren't a be-all-and-end-all. There are so many things for him/her to take into account - how you feel, clinical examination, your history, other tests etc etc.

I would suggest that you discuss these findings with your doctor/consultant and then you will have professional guidance and, hopefully a base-line for future tests.

Hope that helps.

As PMR Pro has said and Patricia has confirmed, this is a patient forum and not a forum for getting a diagnosis. But I don't see you were asking for a diagnosis, just for some explanation. You can see for yourself that in the first section CRP and ESR are within normal range. ANA is the indicator for lupus.

If you would like some support - which is what this forum is all about, send me a private message or send me an email [e-mail]. In my experience, people who are concerned about their treatment do not know which way to turn, who to see and how to move forward. Or sometimes they just need reassurance that they are in the right place with the right doctors. But this is not a subject for discussion on an open forum.

Dear Sas123,

Please do contact John, he is definitely the one most qualified to interpret results; other than you doctors/consultants of cause.

I send you my best wishes and hope this 'sorted out' quickly for you.
