Her RF factor is normal. It means she probably isn't suffering from rheumatoid arthritis. Her vitamin D levels are low which means she is deficient of vitamin D. You have not mentioned B12 levels. Her ESR is high which means she is having some kind of inflammation in the body. ESR is a non specific test.
