Complement?: Do you mean complement 3 (or c3)?  What do you mean by 2.08 from the normal result - 2.08 above the upper limit of normal provided by the lab)?  If so , why was it ordered in the first place?  We need the information to provide an answer.

Question 2

Question 3

Question 4

ana 1:1280 nucleolar and complement c3 high. what does this mean?

Accepted Answer

Maybe nothing: High complement is  not a problem. The problem is more  why do you have a + ana. The nucleolar pattern needs to be interpreted  with the clinical picture. Your evaluation will help clarify this. It may be germane to a helpth problem but i often see this wihtout an issue. This depends on the qulaity of the lab and what your clincial issues are.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

How do you feel?: The complement system is a chaotic system -- like the butterfly effect. Most-impacted by this is CH40.  The CH50 test is subject to so many variables and artifacts that as long as you feel reasonably well and don't have some bizarre, mysterious illness, I wouldn't give an elevated value a second  thought.
