I was recently tested because of suspected lupus... the tests came back in the normal range, but everything, including the sed rate was pushing the limits of normal. i.e. the range for normal sed is 0-20 right? and mine was 19. does this means it is on the rise and i should be re-tested soon?

Sed rate number?

Sed rate of 19 mm/hr is not significant. The diagnosis of lupus is not based on a single value of a single test. The decision on repeating that and other tests will depend on your symptoms.

Sed rate number?

Sed is today concidered a very unspecific test and doesn't virtually mean anything. Lupus is not diagnosed based on it, and a value of 19 is not something you should be worried about. No need to retake the sed test. The confirmaton for lupus is made by proving existing anti-ds-DNA antibodies.
