CBC and ESR
On my routine tests, my ESR came back high at 58. It has been persistently elevated, as my previous report a few months ago showed 49. Other tests, including kidney function, liver function, urine, and CBC, are all within normal limits. Since my ESR has risen from 49 to 58 without any obvious cause should I be concerned?

High Esr only indicates some chronic health issue, may be like just mild weakness, bodyache.
Share if you have any problem, otherwise if all other test results are normal, nothing to worry.

Hii
Your ESR is significantly elevated
Possible reasons -
1) long term low grade infections ( sinusuitis/dental infection/TB)
2)autoimmune conditions(rhuematoid arthritis/ spondylitis)
3) was there any recent viral infection/ illness
Would i like to suggest a CRP done to rule out infection
First
Later u can get back with the reports and depend on that we can discuss the further evaluation
Thank you hope it helped you

Increased ESR means inflammation and infection.
If there are no obvious abnormality in other blood investigations,
Regular followup is enough

ESR isn’t specific test for any disease. It is always correlated with findings & other blood test for the diagnosis. Also I have an expertise in diet related diseases. I can settle down ESR with few changes in diet even if any disease isn’t there. Reach out for further assistance.

Hello Ma’am,
ESR is a non-specific test and can remain high due to inflammation, stress, or even minor infections, but since all other reports are normal it usually isn’t a cause for major concern. With a few more tests and proper follow-up the exact reason can be clarified, and most cases like this improve with management.
