Do Tuberculosis patients have high ESR?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Yes, patients have high ESR during TB because of inflammatory cytokines released in the blood which can cause elevated levels of ESR.
Dr. Hema Suggests...
Take a CARDIAC ENZYMES (CPK, CKMB, AST, LDH) Test or Take a POTASSIUM - SERUM / PLASMA Test

Hi doctors, I did my regular blood report which came normal, but my ESR was 25 mm. I do not have any symptoms nor have I had any infection recently. Why is it high if the normal range is 0 to 15? Please suggest. Is it too high? I am worried.

For the past three months, I have been experiencing occasional chills, fever, breathing difficulties, and body pain. During this time, I underwent multiple tests, including blood and urine tests, viral markers, HIV, Widal test, urine routine, CS for MP, HGM, ESR, PFT, HCV, thyroid, and malaria screening. All of which came back normal except for my ESR, which was elevated at 28 mm per hr (normal range 15 to 20 mm per hr). I would appreciate your advice on what this elevated ESR might indicate and whether any further tests are necessary. I have attached the test reports for your reference.
