Lab data: These data can only be interpreted in the context of clinical issues. You need to go back and ask the doctor who ordered these tests what they mean. Without knowing why they were ordered the results are meaningless. By the way, they are so close to normal that would not worry about it.

You need a......?: Reflex ana, or an ANA profile. I would also add an ace assay. Sle and other collagen vascular disease usally have a normal crp. You have not explained you take plaquenil, (hydroxychloroquine) and why you are on it is important. Having ANA positivity alone is not justification for this drug. You may or may not have an autoimmune disease, but you have not had the tests done, or did not provide the information!
