A member asked:

I recently had blood work done and my ssb ro was elevated at 140. what does this indicate and what is the severity of having it in this range?

See below: Depends on why you had this test drawn. If you have a syndrome that suggests autoimmune disease, this is strong evidence that you have such a disease ( sle, sjogrens, iim, systemic sclerosis, ra, etc.) if you do not have such a syndrome there is a possibility you could develop something in the next 5-10 years. You may be at risk for having a baby with neonatal heart block.
