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

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?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

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.
