abnormal test results

My drs say these abnormal results don't mean anything but I disagree so tell me what you think. 86.4 mg/l C-reactive protein. positive ANA anti-nuclear antibody. 1.1g/DL alpha-2. 1:80 ANA titer. 11.5 wbc count. Rest of the results in normal range. Tests were done just prior to starting humira which is not helping at all yet

86.4 CRP is miles above normal and 11.5 WBC is slightly higher than normal. No idea about the other two. Although to be fair, if you've just started Humira you should give it a few weeks to kick in. But if your CRP is still high (normal is 5 or under, for reference), and your doctors aren't concerned, sack them off and find a doctor who has a clue.

Because having an elevated CRP means there is still inflammation, which means the Humira isn't working, which means the Crohn's can come back and do horrible things. I found this all out on Remicade.

I've heard of ANA antibodies, but I'm not familiar with them. Thought they were the antibodies which sometimes build up against Remicade, tbh :-/

Try to find out what unit of measurement your aunt's GI office used for CRP if you can, 'cos if it was different to mg/L she may be used to smaller numbers (by a factor of 10).

My highest CRP was 350 (mg/L) and you better believe I was in hospital >_>. Colon had gone rogue. Seriously ill, atrocious pain, sky-high fevers. IV steroids kicked in like a hero until I fell ill again. Another hospitalisation, extremely high CRP, more steroids, rinse and repeat a few more times until I eventually gave in and just had the colon removed.

Anyway, yeah. CRP of 86 is still very high. When did you start the Humira? Because if it was 3 or more months ago, I'd be onto your doctors straight away for a change of treatment plan.
