What does esr level of 34 mean?
Patient: hi Dr,my mother was complaing about neck pain and shoulder pain. she saw the doctor yesterday and the doctor advised her to get ESR test, uric acid test and Artharitis test.uric acid and artharits tests are within the normal range but her ESR is 34, can you please suggest Doctor: Hello, Thnx to contact us. If I am your treating doctor I advice you that your mother is free from arthritis and gout and had high ESR. ESR is non specific marker of the inflammation. So it raises in a variety of conditions. Which type of inflammation you have is we have to diagnose. I also want to know what age you have, your sex and further examination to establish the diagnosis ? I can only say that ESR is raised here from the history that you have mentioned. If you have anything else to ask, kindly contact me Dr. Arun Tank.
