Raised ESR, what does this mean?

[Kitten-whiskers]

Morning everyone,

quick question, does anyone know what is meant by raised ERS, have to have another blood test to confirm the first one was correct - testing ESR, FBC & Protein Electrophoresis?

Thank you

Hi K-W,

ESR is is a non-specific measure of inflammation.

FBC will indicate whether there is infection in the body labtestsonline.org/understa...

Protein Electrophoresis labtestsonline.org.uk/under...

Could be wrong but think Plasma Viscosity is a more accurate test
