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 C-REACTIVE PROTEIN (CRP) - QUANTITATIVE Test or Take a COMPLETE BLOOD COUNT (CBC) Test

I got my blood test report and the ESR was 32. What does this mean? Also, I have cholinergic urticaria. Is that the reason or something else?
Answered by Apollo Doctors
My scalp is very itchy at times. I have attached my blood test report, which shows an ESR of 32. The doctor examined me and diagnosed a possible scalp fungal infection, prescribing medication. However, the itching has not improved. Could you please advise what might be causing this and what should be done next?
