Sir, my ESR test result is 84 mm/hr. Could you please explain the possible reasons for such a high value, and what treatment or medicines might be recommended?

ESR of 84 is high and usually indicates inflammation, infection, or autoimmune issues. On its own, it does not confirm a disease. Combine it with symptoms and get tests like CRP, CBC, and possibly ANA to narrow down cause.

Dr. Yusuf Suggests...

Take a CRP Test (C - Reactive Protein) Test or Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test

Book CRP Test (C - Reactive Protein) Test Book CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test

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.
