An increased ESR may be due to arthritis, systemic conditions, bone infections and certain heart conditions may cause ESR levels to rise.

My blood report for an insurance policy showed high ESR. The policy is on hold. I am not concerned about the policy, but what should be done next on a personal health front?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

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.
