Q: Ra,crp,esr,ana(< 1:40) all negative.but have sticky mouth n tongue,dry eyes,muscle pain.doc says its normal fibromyalgia n not sjogern.is it true?

Sound like fibro. You also have Sicca and not Sjogren's. Sicca is dryness as you describe and you have that too.

Q: What diseases are indicative of high esr and crp levels?

Both ESR and CRP are elevated in patients with inflammation. It may be infection or non-infectious inflammation. Common causes are osteomyelitis, arthritis, pneumonia, appendicitis, cellulitis, colitis etc.

Q: Why would my lymphs be low and my segs be high? also have elevated crp & esr levels?

Interpretation of any lab test must be done in context. What is the history leading to the evaluation/testing? What if any are the symptoms? These values suggest an inflammatory reaction in the body but without more information no reasoned answer is possible.

Q: Had blood test for esr and crp again 3rd one and it's gone back very high again would this need testing again to see if levels dropped or not?

You have to address the cause of the abnormal levels first..check with your doctor to plan a good treatment strategy

Q: Hs-crp level of 9. esr-20 & bradycardia, normal echo. what is another possible underlying issue? why would crp be elevated?

can give you an elevated CRP and sed rate, but as inflammatory markers go - these are aren't through the roof high. Rheum conditions often very hard to diagnose with lab tests ALONE> You need a good history and physical

Question 1

My esr and crp levels are high. is it due to the fibromyalgia that i have?

Accepted Answer

Fibromyalgia is normally not associated with elevated ESR or crp. But elevated esr/ CRP are nonspecific and can easily happen in someone with fibromyalgia. Any concurrent acute infection or inflammation can be the cause. But if the numbers are very high, you may have an autoimmune disease and may have been misdiagnosed. Hope not.

Question 2

Diagnosed with fibromyalgia. i have crp always  20-22 and esr 52. is is related to fibromylagia? cbc always normal . should is start worrying

Accepted Answer

Your elevated ESR and CRP are abnormal and therefore are of concern.  Continued work up to determine cause is defininately warranted. Fibromyalgia is not a diagnosis of exclusion but other disease processed can mimic or exacerbate the symptoms of fibromyalgia. Elevated ESR and CRP are not consistent with fibromyalgia.

Question 8

Hello,had my blood test done today. everything fine, but i am confused with one thing. crp level is within the range, but esr is elevated (29). what does it mean? i feel good, all other tests fine, no leucocytosis etc. please help?

Accepted Answer

All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, CRP and ESR are different tests and one can be elevated while the other is not. It would have helped had you provided the actual results.    
Wish you good health!

Question 9

With recent blood tests indicating detectable (ie. high) levels of crp, ana and esr, should i seek testing for lupus or any other diseases?

Accepted Answer

That would be a good idea, given your history of hashimoto's, and especially if you have symptoms and signs like a "butterfly" rash on your face and joint pain/discomfort.

Question 10

Are c-reactive protein (crp) and esr levels typically elevated with advanced stage cancer such as stage 4 lymphoma?

Accepted Answer

These tests are neither sensitive nor specific for much. They generate enormous confusion and unnecessary fear. C-RP is made in atherosclerotic plaques and is often up in bad atherosclerosis. It's also made in the liver in response to some interleukins in disease elsewhere, especially some arthritis variants. Sed rate reflects globulins and fibrinogen, not usually up in lymphoma.

My esr and crp levels are high Is it due to the fibromyalgia that I have
