A member asked:
Would an enlarged spleen or liver increase esr and crp levels on blood test? if so- to what levels approximately? (please a swee question )
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on the: Cause of enlargement of the liver or spleen. Both can result in increase in ESR and crp. It is not the enlargement per se but the underlying pathology that increases the serum markers. The more the inflammation, the higher the levels.
