Mat, often a nucleolar ANA staining pattern is indicative of scleroderma, which is a complicated autoimmune disease. There is some general information about it here Overview - Scleroderma - Mayo Clinic.

Often but not always unusually low (not high) levels of complement protein C3 are associated with autoimmune diseases. Maybe check this with the lab which did the analysis - mistakes have been known to happen.
