What Are The Reasons For Reynaud S Compliment Level Be Elevated?

I have a question. I am a raynauds patient. Primary raynauds is what I have. A rheumatologist did a lot of testing and found no other underlying disease to go along with The raynauds so she classified me as having primary raynauds disease. Although, , my total compliment level was high. She didn t talk alot about the total level being high because she was looking for c3 and c4 levels mainly to see if they were low. I have done some research which I know can be bad to do. My question is this. Should I be concerned with having elevated levels of the total compliment system. My first doctor thought it was of concern and sent me to a specialist but she rarely mentioned why levels could be elevated? So why would they be elevated is my question?
