My mother ESR value has come 72. She does not have any infection. She has diabetes and asthma. Should I be concerned about it? Please help.
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
An ESR value of 72 is elevated, but it doesnt always mean infection. In conditions like diabetes or asthma, ESR can be high due to ongoing inflammation. If your mother has no fever, pain, or new complaints, theres likely no need to panic. Still, a CRP test and a basic health check can help rule out hidden causes and ensure everything is under control.
Dr. Dhankecha Suggests...
Take a CRP Test (C - Reactive Protein) Test or Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test

Answered by Apollo Doctors
My ESR rate is 25. The doctor said it could indicate an infection. I want to know what type of infection this might be.
Answered by Apollo Doctors
For the past three months, I have been experiencing occasional chills, fever, breathing difficulties, and body pain. During this time, I underwent multiple tests, including blood and urine tests, viral markers, HIV, Widal test, urine routine, CS for MP, HGM, ESR, PFT, HCV, thyroid, and malaria screening. All of which came back normal except for my ESR, which was elevated at 28 mm per hr (normal range 15 to 20 mm per hr). I would appreciate your advice on what this elevated ESR might indicate and whether any further tests are necessary. I have attached the test reports for your reference.
