A member asked:

Advice please? my mom is coughing constantly her esr count is 100 but all other parameters are normal what's the problem?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

ESR: This test, the erythrocyte sedimentation rate, is a very non specific test for inflammatory processes, based on several changes in plasma proteins that made the red cells compact faster. lung infections could explain both findings, but they are both very general, non specific findings that need more evaluation.
