I just had a blood test for arthritis. What are they looking for?
They are looking for inflammations in the body which can raise ESR and CRP levels.

You can consume foods rich in omega 3 and anti inflammatory foods such as berries and seasonal fruits.
ESR increases during menstruation because there is a significant decrease in the hematocrit levels which results in faster fall of red blood cells which in turn leads to increase in ESR levels.
ESR above 50 might indicate mild health conditions. ESR above 100 can indicate serious illnesses such as arthritis and polymyalgia.
It means that either one has inflammations or infections in the body. Consult with a doctor to know the root cause and investigate further.
ESR 45 and above might indicate mild health conditions. ESR above 100 can indicate serious illnesses such as arthritis and polymyalgia. Consult with a doctor to know the root cause.
