High ESR common in anemia, infection. Not serious alone, needs monitoring. Eat iron rich foods, stay hydrated. Do CRP, Iron Profile, CBC repeat in 1 month.

Dr. Yusuf Suggests...

Take a CRP Test (C - Reactive Protein) Test or Take a Iron Studies Test Test

Book CRP Test (C - Reactive Protein) Test Book Iron Studies Test Test

What could be the reason for high ESR and CRP?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Will a fever between 98 and 99.8 be considered a fever? One of our friends has had this for 5 months and 20 days. His blood test report shows Hb 13.2 percent, RBC 5 million, WBC 10,600, platelet 2.22 lakhs, and ESR 25. Could this lead to cancer?
