Just got a blood testdone and my rheumatology serology count was 25... what does that mean?

Sed Rate : One of the most common blood tests performed for evaluation of a rheumatolgical disorder is ESR (sed rate, westergren esr). Esr is a non-specific test and when elevated may indicate an underlying inflammatory (e.g. Rhuem, infectious) process is taking place. Levels lying slightly outside of the normal range are rarely useful. The results must be interpreted in the context of clinical presentations.
