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.
