Sed rates can do that, they are extremely non-specific. Did you really mean GFR (Glomerular filtration rate) because 22 is stage 4 chronic renal failure and quite serious. GFR's are pretty accurate and should never vary 22-88 unless you had a reversible renal injury such as a post-viral glomerulonephritis.
