Hello, I went for a CBC test, and my ESR is slightly increased. The normal range is 20, and mine is 22. Is this a matter of concern? I am attaching my report. Please check and advise.

ESR of 22 is only mildly raised and may reflect minor inflammation or past infection. If CBC and other parameters are normal and you have no symptoms, its not worrisome. No treatment needed.

My recent blood test report shows an ESR value of 16. Is this a cause for concern? Could it indicate a possible COVID infection? Please advise.

What is the remedy for ESR?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

My blood report for an insurance policy showed high ESR. The policy is on hold. I am not concerned about the policy, but what should be done next on a personal health front?
