Ana+sed. Rate: There is no cause of concern for hct&mpv because they are normal at sea level. Border line low, from your lab reference for high altitude or chronic inflammation.Should be concerned about ana+ titer & sed. Rate high. Possible one of many connective tisue diseases. You have to see rheumatologist for dsdna, complement, crp, other antibodies. Minor change in CBC may be because of it. Good luck.
