sanavid..is there a level which would raise a red flag? I was just informed my results were benign, but what 'would' actually be a red flag if you know? I'm just curious.

If you're really worried I'd call up the lab when they're open and ask about it. It'd only take a few minutes and it couldn't hurt. That way you can be sure about it.
