So it can reflect something else going on in the body too.
There are people with C-reactive protein that are much higher.
readings of 10 and above!

Mrs. D, I just went back online, and my results for the rheumatoid factor was positive as well! When I was tested in March, the only abnormal value I had was the sed rate of 37, so for me, having every test listed as "high" on the chart is news that I get excited about.
I have long suspected autoimmune disorder, since many of my problems come/go in flares. I read that you will only test positive when you are having a flare, if the autoimmune disorder has not progressed past a point.
I understand that the values were not extreme, but they were all abnormal, so I feel further investigation is at least warranted.
