Hello.......ESR is not diagnostic test, but only used in prognostic purpose... ESR is elevated in many conditions, and some of them are physiological....ESR is a useful indication of the presence and intensity of an inflammatory process. It is not diagnostic of a particular disease. It rises with age and in anaemia...consult your doctor with report.
