Autoimmune disease: Hashimoto's won't make these changes. Has to be something else. Without further history and physical, it's essentially impossible to make a diagnosis off a few abnormal blood tests.

See below: ANA disorders such as lupus have low complement level, but nonspecific inflammation can raise complement levels such as infection or other autoimmune disorders.
