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.

ESR of 25 is mildly elevated and non specific. It can be raised due to minor inflammation or even stress. If no symptoms, no active infection is likely. Repeat an ESR and CRP after 10 days to monitor.

Take a ESR Test (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate) Test or Take a CRP Test (C - Reactive Protein) Test

Answered by Apollo Doctors

My age is 16 and My esr rate is 65. Is it dangerous?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

There is pain in my body, joint pain, and severe weakness. The weakness is more after sleeping. My ESR is raised, but all other tests are normal. My urine report is abnormal. All other tests like RA, anti CCP, vitamin D, vitamin B12, sugar, and thyroid are normal except ESR and urine.
