I need help reading test results!

I have many results in and I am clueless as to how to read or interpret them. I have an auto immune disease, but many tests show very normal, yet the some are showing off the chart, what does this mean?

Antinuclear Antibodies (ANA) 5.22     0.00 - 20.00 ISR

Thyroid Peroxidase      Ab <10          <35 IU/mL
Parietal Cell     Ab 24.7                  <=20.0 Unit

WBC       11.8                                 3.4 - 10.5 TH/UL
MCV       102.3                           82.0 - 98.0 FL
MCH       33.6                                  27.0 - 33.0 PG
MCHC    32.8                         32.0 - 36.0 G/DL
Neutrophils Relative 79.3               45.0 - 75.0
Neutrophils Absolute 9.36              1.60 - 6.50
RBC       4.26                          4.00 - 5.20 MI/UL
Hemoglobin  14.3                  12.0 - 15.5 G/DL
Hematocrit    43.6                   35.0 - 48.0 %
RDW           13.6                   11.5 - 14.5 %
RDW-SD   51.1                   36.4 - 54.5 FL
Platelets    229                   150 - 450 TH/UL
Lymphocytes Relative   14.2 17.0 - 43.0 %
Monocytes Relative    5.7          0.0 - 12.0 %
Eosinophils Relative    0.4         0.0 - 4.0 %
Basophils Relative    0.0         0.0 - 2.0 %
Lymphocytes Relative 14.2         17.0 - 43.0 %
Monocytes Relative 5.7          0.0 - 12.0 %
Eosinophils Relative   0.4          0.0 - 4.0 %
Basophils Relative 0.0           0.0 - 2.0 %

I see a few slightly abnormal, but none "off the chart".

I have parietal cell antibodies and intrinsic factor antibodies which is a classic diagnosis of autoimmune pernicious anaemia.  My blood cells didn't enlarge even with severe vitamin B12 deficiency (I had masked megaloblastic anaemia).  Enlarged blood cells show up with a high MCV (mean cell volume).

Excerpt from ASCIA/RCPA Consensus Guidelines Anti-Intrinsic Factor Antibody Testing...

"If both parietal cell antibody and intrinsic factor antibody are positive-
Immunological evidence of Pernicious Anemia

If both parietal cell antibody and intrinsic factor antibody are negative-
No immunological evidence of Pernicious Anemia

If parietal cell antibody is positive but intrinsic factor antibody is negative-
Gastric Parietal cell antibody is associated with >90% of patients with Autoimmune Gastritis, the end result of which may be Pernicious Anemia (PA). In 20-30% of patients, relatives of patients with PA, autoimmune thyroiditis and a small percentage of healthy persons may be positive and run an increased long term risk of pernicious anemia.

A negative Intrinsic Factor antibody result does not exclude the diagnosis of PA as only 60% of patients with PA will have this antibody."
