ESR 45 and above might indicate mild health conditions. ESR above 100 can indicate serious illnesses such as arthritis and polymyalgia. Consult with a doctor to know the root cause.

What is the reason for a high-level ESR 40?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

My uncle blood report shows high CRP and ESR values, along with some abnormalities in the CBC. Could you please advise if any further examinations or tests are needed?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I was diagnosed with H. pylori, which caused an ulcer. I also have chronic non atrophic gastritis, lax cardia, GERD, and piles. Due to these issues, I have lost 12 kg. I delivered my second baby in January 2020, and these problems started around April/May. My first child is 3 years old. I have been on medication for the past 10 months, but still do not feel fully relieved. Recently, I did a CBC with ESR test, and some values were slightly abnormal. My PCT should be less than 0.28, but it is 0.33. Hemoglobin is 13.5 (previously 14.7 in November), lymphocytes are 49.7 percent, and my ESR increased from 2 to 20. Should I be concerned about these changes in my report? Do they indicate any serious problem?
