Sed rate (custom) I don't know if this is different than regular sed rate
C-reactive protein (custom)
Aldolase (custom)
Anti Neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (custom)
Immunofixation electrophoresis (custom)
Immunoglobulins IGG IGA IGM (Custom)
I have no idea what this custom means
He said he doesn't need a follow up unless there is something abnormal in the lab work

I worked in a lab for years...but have been out of it for a long time; so, my best idea is that you either have the doc explain it to you (more likely he has a "custom" profile within the lab...something he looks for especially, within a typical profile), or you can ask for assistance within his office. Usually, the office folk (his assistant or nurse) can explain the differences to you.
