A member asked:

I have a c3 serum of 233 and a c4 serum of 41. what does this mean. i have a positive ana.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Any symptoms?: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, the levels are mildly elevated and may indicate some disease activity. Wish you good health!
